Another way to make the outline easier for old eyes to see is to cover the flat side of the pad with white tape, masking tape will also do, and cut around it with an Exacto knife, instead of scribing. Then remove the tape outside the cut and sand until you just touch the edge of the tape remaining. Making the pad base perfectly flat before starting will also give a better fit. Pads are often warped a bit, as they come out of the box.
