Personally, I still think the original wool felt works as well as anything.
The tank will always sweat a little under certain conditions, and the porous
wool lets the moisture evaporate.  Plus the natural lanolin acts to repel
water to some extent.

I have had TR3 tanks rust out, but the rust has always been from the inside,
and not associated with where it sits on the pads.  Don't have a photo
handy, but the tank in my wrecked TR3 still looks like new where I put felt
in, some 20 years ago now.  The felt is still in good condition, as well.
