Title: USA sources for sticky Magnetic Sheets and sticky Rubber Steel like sheets
Post by: Conquistador on August 17, 2011, 11:37:24 PM

I know of Litko and RenInk - any other non-art supply (like Blick, Avery, or MagnetKing,) sources you guys use?

I have few non-standard sized (second-hand and "legacy") based figures I don't feel like re-basing if I can just cut out pieces to stick to the bottom of the base.

Gracias,

Glenn

I don't know about the USA, I'm afraid, but here in the UK learner drivers have to put 'L' plates on the car they use to train. The magnetic strip off of that is great and easy to cut with scissors.

Locally (Canadian West Coast) we can get bulk magnetic sheet from our local plastics shop - they use it and sell it for signs and such.

It's bee a few years since I bought any, but it came off a big roll, sold by the foot.

Check your local yellow pages for "Plastics Suppliers" or something similar, ask about "magnetic vinyl". Our local shop (called, very creatively, Industrial Plastics) is a treasure trove of bulk styrene sheet, foamed PVC (Sintra), magnetic sheet, random bits of plastic tubing and and all sorts of nifty stuff.
