Yes, but I reckon it would need to be quite thick to with-stand either a thump from a mallet or pressure from a press

I use an arbor press and metal plates

above the stamp and below the leather

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

I use 1/4" plexi and sandwich it between a metal plate and a thick piece of leather, then squeeze gently with an arbor press.

I was playing around with my dragon scale stamp. And came up with this

We could use a good stamping thread where everyone can show the different ways to use them.
