I made another homemade pad. Stacked cardboard, rubber strips from an exercise band on one side and thick Mylar on the other. (The Mylar was leftover stock from Beetle, with adhesive on one side.)
I stacked cardboard layers with crisscrossing corrugation for greater strength, with wood glue between each layer, green rubber glued on one side, and weighted down overnight.
Then I added the Mylar piece on the other side. To keep the cardboard edges from fraying or catching on anything, I sealed everything up with tape. Finally, I glued narrow strips of thin mousepad material on the Mylar side to keep it from skidding around when I use the green rubber side.
It’s a little light in weight, but for a lower-volume pad that can be tossed in a backpack and used anywhere it’s fine. Best with 5B or 2B concert sticks.
