OldGuy Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Not sure about chamois, but suede leather is excellent for nail bending. Quote Not afraid to ruffle feathers!

OldGuy Posted December 26, 2005 Posted December 26, 2005 Chamois is most likey too thin and too soft with the risk of injury due to the nail puncturing it. Quote Not afraid to ruffle feathers!
smp76 Posted December 27, 2005 Posted December 27, 2005 I would think that as long as your pads do not measure over 1.5" thick with a Red in there you are fine at what ever length. Mine are currently 4.25" Wide by 11.5" Long and measure just over 1" when rolled around a Red.
