Does anyone have a good suggestion for making a basic cardboard tube suitable for use with a horsehair carpet pad? The acid-free 10' long tubes are a bit pricy for us and I'm wondering if we can somehow cover a basic cardboard tube with something so that it is suitable. Or.do we even need to use a tube at the center of the rolled carpet pad? Thanks, Robin -------------------- Robin H.
