Default Slip clutch felt replacement

Well I've always called it felt but this is worn down to a woven backing
that is well glued to the pulley. I suspect it is more pool/snooker table
baize material rather than haberdashers felt, but why always white ? some
special formulation. Unobtainium full clutch assembly so renovation of what
is here.
Anyone know how to make neat punch-cut dual concentric cut rings without
proper setup. Small central hole ok with normal leather punch ,but outer
larger cut?
Probably I'll cut the centre hole in some green baize, glue to the remnant
backing (or start again stripping of the old ?) , compress as its curing and
then cut away outer excess with a scalpel.


Look for 'wad punch'
