yea the felt sheets from walmart or any crafting place are perfect. i use it to ruberband over kiwi nibs to make them last longer it works alot better than a piece of Tshirt.
its ben said a few times but when your making semi home made inks, and are gathering shit from around town, no matter how small your town is there has to be a shoe repair store, or boot store that will sell nice leather dyes, most stores have lincoln quality witch a i like i have only used black and ox blood. it is thin but makes a great base,and you should never have to pay more than 5 bucks.
