Please Note: The above information has been carefully reviewed to be as reliable as possible. However, due to the diversity of felt applications we cannot guarantee its accuracy, and urge you to make your own tests to determine the suitability of a given felt material.
Special Orders normally require a 3-4 week lead time and a manufacturing minimum. Items designated as in-stock are normally inventoried, but may occasionally be in the process of being produced, thus requiring a 3-4 week lead time.
