AarhusTr6 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 hi the insides of my hot air blowers seized up and I've taken them out and I can see that there is some felt which was jammed inside... has anybody been able to replace this otherwise they seem to rattle around! I guess originally the felt acted as a buffer of sorts and my felt seems ok but I just can't figure out how to get the felt back into it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I've replaced that felt in one of mine, and you don't want to go that way if you don't have to. On my others, I was able to restore smooth action by just cleaning and waxing the ball. A last resort would be cutting them apart. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I bought a lifetime supply of self adhesive black felt of the correct width years ago to restore mine. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AarhusTr6 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Morning all I did a bit of reading and some people seem to either split them and re-insert of use a fine screwdriver. I think splitting them is too risky as if I damage them getting new ones is expensive, so will try gently prodding the felt back in. Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xmas6 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi - did mine a few months ago - I had to split the unit carefully with a junior hacksaw, replaced the felt and glued them back together. I got a “sample” bit of felt on flea bay for about a quid. cheers Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
