What felt to use for way wipers?

[Micktoon]

Hi Lads , I have read not up on the felt as wipers BUT if you do want felt I have noticed that many DIY type stores and places like Wilkinsons supermarket type shops in the UK sell thick felt ( 3-4mm thick ) for putting on the bottom of wood furniture feet so you will scratch wood floors. It comes in either packs of precut shapes or in quite large rectangle sizes that you can cut up yourself, It looks like it would do the job of the old felt and seems quite cheap too, so maybe worth a trial ?
Cheers Mick.
