I realize that the K1000 temple pads are long gone. The leather on my temple pads looks to be in great shape but two of the pads have compressed. Seems like I can just restuff them, they should work well. Does anyone have a recommendation on how to take the pads off and re-foam them? Looking for any advice on that end including best practices for removing so as not tear the pads, glue recommendations for reconnecting and foam recommendations? Do I harvest a pillow, some cotton balls, some memory foam, etc? Thanks!
