I made my own on an action that I wanted to lighten several months ago. I cut standard felt punchings in half and glued them onto a medium cardboard punching. They seem to stay in place fine. It did lighten the touch by 3-4 grams. If you rotate them 180 degrees it has the opposite effect. I also like to iron my balance rail punchings to make them more stable.
