No, I haven't made a pen out of carpet padding, but I have found it very useful. I have found that the hotter I get the application of the friction polish, the longer the shine lasts. If you really cook it on it's better. To do this I use several thicknesses of the cloth soaked with the friction polish, backed with a piece of thick carpet padding and hold it until the heat is hot coming off the back of the padding. I also use a piece of carpet padding on the back of my sand paper. This gives more control and flex to the application.
