    Question low odour rubber? laser polymer?

    i need to find these items. i have looked and looked but only found one place that sells the polymer and it is expensive.

    i was suggested a couple of other places but they refuse to sell to me because i do not have a 'real' business. i am just starting out so i do not have anything really set up.

    i really want to make stamps but i am having such a hard time finding places which sell the laser polymer. do you guys have any suggestions?

    Millennium Marking sells "no odor" rubber for lasers. While nothing is stinkless, this stuff is really fairly mild. I switched to it after the neighboring business threatened to wrap a bicycle frame around my neck. Some people have no sense of humor.

    By the way, Shiny Rubber is owned by Millennium. I will say the people at Millennium are pleasant to deal with.

    Best wishes,

    Nadia,
    from another post, you seem to have the laser in your bedroom. You also are living in a downstairs basement apartment. I don't think you want to laser rubber, it's the stinkiest stuff I've ever run in the laser.

    Our firm has some background in rubber, but we are not familiar with the requirements for use in a laser. If anyone can describe the size and other requirements of the rubber we may be able to assist.

    hi

    i did contact them and they were one of the ones who said they won't sell to me unless i am a real business and can prove it to them.

    should i tell them i am? or?

    Nadia; I do LOTS of stamps, and there is no such thing as odourless anything.. If you are running stamp material of 'any' kind in someone else's house, You better look for someplace else to live 'now' because quite frankly, it won't be long before they tell you to leave... I make all my own polymer sheets for lasering and although it does not stink as much, it does smell, and leaves a lingering semi stink.. I would cross rubber stamps and acrylic off your things to do list, or start house hunting..
    Epilog 24TT(somewhere between 35-45 watts), CorelX4, Photograv(the old one, it works!), HotStamping, Pantograph, Vulcanizer, PolymerPlatemaker, Sandblasting Cabinet, and a 30 year collection of Assorted 'Junque'

    Every time you make a typo, the errorists win

    I Have to think outside the box.. I don't fit in it anymore


    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.


    Every silver lining has a cloud around it
