Lapping Film at Woodcraft

[BillC]

Just FYI, Woodcraft is carrying lapping film by the sheet.

Glad to have another source

Silicon oxide if I remember correctly was not as good as AL/oxide.

Also if they are charging $4 for 1 sheet that seems very costly. You can get 25 sheets for $12 or so.

I just posted because someone was looking for a source for single sheets a week or so ago. Some other vendors are $7 a sheet for singles. Not endorsing or condemning any vendors here, just information

I stumbled across this today.

I sometimes see it on amazon sold by the single sheet for under $2. Still, nice to have another source.

AUGH! PSA back! I hate that stuff.

I have some PSA backed film (from a different source) I use it like it wasn't PSA, i. e. I wet my substrate before placing it. If the substrate surface is really wet it works OK. You can still reposition it by sliding and remove it pretty easily. I put it back on the paper backing afterwards to dry. Biggest issue I have is that the adhesive picks up dirt and hairs (if you do the FOFT there's hair) and you cant get rid of them once they stick
