They are natural felt. I doubt dust will be an issue as the fibers are tight and the piston barely touches it. If the pads are placed too close then the piston won't shut down. The felt pads I got were from Home Depot. Everbilt self-adhesive 3/8" Medium Duty Felt Pads, 10mm thick. They were the perfect size.
I don't see why your velcro wouldn't work. It's really all in the positioning, which is just a little trial and error.

Is the felt polyester, which may produce less dust than wool, cotton or natural felt?

I may try soft Velcro dots, just because I have them.
