Title: Martin Rug Rest Uncut?
Post by: DanielB89 on May 09, 2017, 03:13:00 PM
Does anyone know where we can purchase a martin rug rest in a square? Like a big square?

The normal size a Martin rug rest comes in is about 1" X 3". I normally cut in in two long pieces to make two rests, and then trim to fit. You need a bigger piece than that?

I just like to cut my own.  Really looking for a few feet of it for about $20 or so.

How does it compare to industrial Velcro?

Kenny,

that is a very good question.  I have been told several times that the rug rest is about as soft as it gets.

I will check on the industrial velcro.  Velcro works well, but it can wear pretty quickly if something isn't perfectly tuned.

Good point, Velcro does smash down and wear.
