I remember menty or alfred posting a hook up that had it for cheap. Like almost half price I just got my press up and running and want to play around before chunking up 4x5 chunks of dicro! It is the only plate I have and its the 1/4 inch stuff. I would like to start just making some cane then try a roll up or 3. I want some clear so I can test it out with odds and Acme color. Also looking for a graphite plate with groves so I can lay color in them and smash plate on top. Does this work? I am so far away from anyone using a press I could use a pointer or two for sure.

Whats that?????????????
Contact Sandburg/CBS. They have good prices. When you call tell them you want the float ONLY, no dichro. (ie:blank sheet of boro).
They have a couple different thicknesses.

Last time I got some it was like $30-$40 a sheet.
