Hi Jim,

Head over to the discussion forums at www.m29cweasel.org and ask your
question there. The topic has come up several times, including how to
manufacture your own pads.

Note that the website is being moved to a new server so there will be
some issues over the next couple of days in terms of access. But it
should all be straightened out shortly!
