Hi Georgina,

I have a press with a phenolic resin plate and it is fantastic, lightweight
and very tough.

Do you know if the Cas fruit (Psidium friedrichsthalianum) has
been introduced to Australia? Its fine-grained wood is what all
engravers in Costa Rica use. It's simply delightful.

Purdue University has a brief description of it:

Cheers!

My press uses a phenolic resin bed. It is nice, but it is small…

Georgina,
I just swapped out my original steel pressbed for 1" thick by 28x48 inch high density polyethylene Servalite cutting board. I used it on a press about 8 years ago and it was grand. It is crush proof, stain proof, has memory, and is resilant to solvents. It has a subtle texture with a non slip-likeness to the surface. The best thing is that I can pick it up.
Anyways, most companies that sell commercial plastics carry this product.

Is anyone else getting email spam from the Baren Exchange Input Pages?

Is there a way to keep this from happening?

Thanks,

Betty,
Sadly, there is no way to keep it from happening. Dave has tried.
I get stuff from exchange 22 almost every month and I just delete it

Thanks, Barbara.
I can deal with it.
Was just curious.
Bette.
