Surely, the simplest way is to cut strips of the backing felt initially too wide. Apply a coat of the fabric adhesive to the strip of damper felt and lay it on the strip of backing. Stretch the damper felt strip gently so that is remains as straight as possible. When the adhesive has dried, offer up a thin steel straight-edge right up against the strip of damper felt and run a scalpel down between the sraight -edge and the damper felt. Because the scalpel blade is so thin, the backing felt will be perfectly flush with the damper felt. You will have a perfectly trimmed strip of backed damper felt. You will then just offer the backed strips to your guillotine and chop as many pieces as you need. This technique obviously applies to strips of clip and wedge as well as your tapered strips of flat felt. OK, it may be a little bit wasteful of backing felt and scalpel blades cost more than sharpening a knife, but who cares if you are aiming for a perfect job.
