Members HarrisBoot Posted June 1, 2008 Members Report Posted June 1, 2008 I have sandal or flip-flop sole dies in four sizes. I would use birkenstock soling. We built them in the past to use up scrap. Quote
Contributing Member Jordan Posted June 1, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted June 1, 2008 Yes basically it is a press, hydraulic or air that you use a metal die shaped to what you want, apply pressure and CLICK you have a sole. Quote
Members Sharpshooter Posted June 2, 2008 Members Report Posted June 2, 2008 ... CLICK you have a sole. That can come in quite handy since I traded mine to the devil a few years back. Quote Experience Life; On Purpose Sharpshooter Sheath Systems
esantoro Posted June 2, 2008 Report Posted June 2, 2008 Buy sheet rubber get yourself a clicker and some dies and make your own bottoms. Then you have complete control and artistic license to do what you want. That is what I will most likley do with my sandal idea. You would have to buy a boatload from offshore to make it worthwile plus as a selling point they will be handmade by you. Jordan, Would you say the sheet rubber you're referring to, is the same as that used in the Tandy poundo boards, or is the rubber sheeting that goes on the bed of clicker presses different?

Contributing Member Jordan Posted June 2, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted June 2, 2008 You could use that poundo for soles but there are better materials out there. There are some other threads about clicker and moulding presses on this forum I am waiting for some of youz to post some measurements or pictures so I can plagerize(Haha) them in my minds eye and build my own, I am getting tired of scissors for that thick stuff. Here is a photo I found of some high end philipe phlops. Herrington catalog very classy. Quote
