I prefer replacement of felt to bolstering. Turn the stack upside down, saturate the felt with an acetic acid solution (a little wallpaper remover or alcohol helps it soak right in, and heating the solution a bit speeds up the process). Pull felt off when it is nice and loose, replace using hot hide glue. Precut felt to size in a mass production manner (strip to width, then cut to length; or, if you have strips that are as wide as the length you need, just slice to width). Use a rotary cutter on a mat, a straight edge with mild sandpaper glued to one side to hold it firmly. Learning this kind of technique is well worth while in the long run, as it has plenty of applications.
