Hello Dr. Fraser,
I'd call it a FELTED material. Many things were made of this stuff=C2=A0 ba=
ck in the day.But regardless, those are the little devils; 2 per door, one =

Thanks to everyone for all of this information.=C2=A0 I put my doors back t=

the donuts. I found my old ones but I don't have enough for all of the hand=

Can somebody verify what the total thickness of one of the full donuts is?=
=C2=A0 One of mine that still looks good measures .33", but it might have s=

Thanks,
