Wondering about sources of laminated sheets for cutting purflin strips. I've had to reject some from my current supplier due to delamination.
I've been buying these ABS sheets in approx. 2'x4' size and anywhere from .040 (B/W) up to .080 thickness.
Thanks guys.

Try Leathertone. They make laminated sheets for engraved signs.

Hi Nelson,
I have always used Leathertone also,however I had a small delamination problem on my last batch.

Leathertone was my first thought too. They can give you any color combination in .010 incriments.

I've always used Leathertone also but sometimes get a little concerned with having just one source.
The delamination problem was hopefully a one timer due to not quite enough heat in the process.
I've had good service from Leathertone over the years. They are good people.

Sorry I'm coming in late on this - I was away for a couple of days. This is new to me. Can someone tell me a little more about using ABS sheets for purfling?
Thanks,
Pat
