    if your talking about granular type cork as in powdered. I'd look to where latex is sold they use to use it in making arch supports only company that use to sell it 15-20 years ago was sold off to several different places and some of those were sold. knit-rite in KC you can get both old rubberized cork that comes in 1/4 " or sheeting as thin as 1/8 the rubber type add some masters to the top surface heat it in a toaster oven keep your eye one it about 250-275 it will puff up and git gets like a rag and stick it in where you want it and let it cool check with fillauer tenn i'll see what I can find not sure where ,,, I'd bet it still out there now the mask makers are using latex

    I/ve used it for years. it will clean[bleach] leather. the water will only dissolve so much keep it in a plastic bottle. once you've wiped down a project. rinse it off the project and let dry over night. I would use rubber gloves. as for exposure never thought about it , has that acid odder but only faint . but who knows it might be killing me and I just don't know it. it will remove smudges from handling the project before its dyed and all. never knew about the wood bleach acid thing so I've learned something

      You resist the letters with Neat Lac or the equivalent and use Antique (water based) to color the belt. Then you seal it. You can use dye but you have to paint it very carefully around the letters. Please post these questions on the forum to get the best answers ASAP.

    at times I feel I'm needing to relearn how to do leather work. . I started doing this type of work 50 years ago. got some what removed 35 years ago, now I want to do it again. I'm finishing up a guitar strap ,all they wanted was their name with the strap dyed black and their name left natural. first should I dye the strap black and being careful and with a paint brush around the lettering. should I use a base coat before I use the fiebing dye or should I use this new oil dye with or not a base dye [ I was taught to use choc. after I get that done what if any should be added to the lettering. then a final coat to seal the dye so it won't bleed like I said I feel like I'm just starting out now if anyone wants to know hot to make a thigh lacer for a prosthetic just ask

      Still a bit confused. I thought I had returned all the phone calls we received. Give me your number and I will be glad to call you tomorrow if that works for you. I am not going to make excuses, I just really thought we had returned all the calls.

    I hope this works and finds it way to you Wizcrafts :

    I got the CB4500 I've been wanting and as always  my phone calls to Bob either go to voice mail or he calls back and I miss the call [phone tag]

    you always seem to have a lot of answers to a lot of questions

    of the different presses feet the RT and LT I can understand

    the double is for everyday use

     the blanket with the teeth to help pull it along

    as for the holster foot and plate I just don't understand

    I hope you can enlighten me on why its shaped like it is and why
