Mike Sullivan of Austin TX, who sometimes posts here, recently brought some microfiber pads that he likes to my attention. They can be bought as 16" x 16" in size, in a variety of colors, including white. I ordered some, at $65 for a box of 50. They are somewhat thinner than I might like, but seem to work well. My plan is take all 50 to a commercial tailoring operation and have them stitch them into 25 2-ply pads. Find them here:
