Message-ID: <396@decwrl.UUCP> Date: Wed, 11-Sep-85 11:27:33 EDT Article-I.D.: decwrl.396 Posted: Wed Sep 11 11:27:33 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 12-Sep-85 23:51:31 EDT Sender: daemon@decwrl.UUCP Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 27 Many of the Mouse Pads being sold today are made of wetsuit material. Most SCUBA shops will stock material for repairs which you can buy by the square inch. The material you should ask for is Nylon I (Nylon one) which is Neoprene foam coated on one side with Nylon cloth. The more common type of material is Nylon II (Nylon two) which has Nylon cloth on both sides. Nylon I is better because the pad won't slip when put rubber side down. I guess Nylon II would work if you could keep it from slipping (like glue it to a board). The material I bought was Top-of-the-Line material (the only Nylon I they had) and cost $0.05 per square inch. -John A.
