Need material like linoleum without twine backing
I'm looking for some material that has the same characteristics as the
olive/tan colored linoleum you find in art supply stores. I.e. - can be precisely sanded, readily cut with an X-acto knife etc. I would need it to come either in approx. 1/8" sheets or be readily mixable so that you could pour it into a flat sheet of uniform thickness. The reason I ask is I can't seem to find the linoleum in the art stores without the twine backing molded into it and the cloth gets in the way of what I'm trying to do with it. Does it come in those thin sheets without the backing? Thanks! |

Have you looked at some of the places that sell flooring lately? I've seen
articles in the local paper about linoleum coming in tile form now rather than just sheets. Maybe that doesn't have the twine? | On Mon, 09 Aug 2004 10:18:45 GMT, "Doc" wrote: I'm looking for some material that has the same characteristics as the olive/tan colored linoleum you find in art supply stores.

Many people cure pc and cut it. It is easily sanded. Either Premo, Fimo or Kato clay should work. Kim |
