Steve - I plugged in my zip code for the 10"x7' and got a shipping
cost of $42.50! Zounds! Must be bacause it is USPS expedited
shipping.

When I auction something on eBay I just put in a flat rate for
shipping (and specify lower 48 only). The other option for buy it now
is to make it "free shipping" and bundle the shipping costs into the
price.

Thanks, John

You're right. I had screwed up the shipping part of the listings.
They do all fit in a large flat rate boxes (the larger rolls take some
scrunching) -- I've adjusted the 4 listings accordingly.

I love McMaster Carr also. I've recommended them to many folks for
felt and other things. The premise of my post here is that buying my
remnants should be a better deal than McMaster or anyone else. If you
want to do a price comparison look at type F7 1/4" thickness, that's
the dense felt that I use on Wing Rigger saddles. I don't recommend
the adhesive backed stuff.

I just re-felted the fuselage and wing dolly's of my trailer and acquired a more than sufficient supply of thick, sturdy felt from the local upholstery supplier.

A call to a few local re-upholsterer's pointed me in the right direction towards their supplier.

I bought it without an adhesive backing, the upholstery supply personnel recommended using 3M brand spray contact cement, which they also had on hand and worked like a champ.

I was on my way for ~$40 total, including spending 15 bucks for the contact cement.
