worn out 4" filter socks

Anyone have one or two worn out and about to go in the garbage 4" ring filter socks I could get cheap or preferably free? I want to cut off the felt and just keep the ring and see if I can make my own floss cup. I refuse to pay $20 for a plastic cup. Even generic ones on amazon are $18 :( . Thinking if I can find the right size plastic drinking cup it could be siliconed in place and drill a bunch of holes in it.

I just tossed a 7 inch ring out. I used the mesh fie Purigen. I may have another one lying around if you want it.

Long ride for me, I'm in 07834. I'd be happy to pay pal you a few dollars to cover a bubble mailer and postage if you think that that would cover it.

I’ve managed to dig up 4. You need just the ring or the whole sock?
Pm me your address and I’ll drop them in the mail.

Just the ring. I want to see if I can find cups that will match up to it. Plan was to drill the cups myself and epoxy them to the ring. Amazon dropped the Red Sea cup price to $15 so I picked up a pair. Love being able to just swap floss so quickly and be done. That being said, since you’ve found rings I’d still like to give the project a shot. I’ll just pay it forward and give a couple members a pair of cups each when I’m done. Pming address.
