Subject: Felt saddle
I am currently working on a World War 1 saddle with a felt saddle pad. The felt is approximately 12mm thick and has been severely insect eaten, giving it a sponge-like appearance. It is torn and fragile in places, and likely to tear further if not repaired. I would like to hear from anyone with experience in repairing or consolidating thick felt items.
