Silly stupid question though. Finding pads in multiples of .25mm is damn hard. Just .5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3mm, etc. If it asks for 1.75mm am i safe with 2mm? If 1.25mm, safe with 1.5mm?

It depends on how much compression the pads will allow some allow 50% others only about 5% compression
Generally the Higher the Thremal rating the harder the pads
