Moderator Wizcrafts Posted March 18, 2014 Moderator Report Posted March 18, 2014 My partner just bought a 20 ton press from Harbor Freight. We intend to use it for a clicker and to mold holsters. What type of rubber should I get and where is the best usual supplier? Our projected size is 1' x 1' x 1" thick. If anybody has a part number, it would help. I'm also hunting for a 1' x 1' x 1" cutting pad for clicker dies.

Tree Reaper Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I bought knife rubber but I find it's too soft, tears and will leave marks behind in the rubber which will affect any other molding. It likely works good on thin items like knives but I've had problems with larger items. Edited March 19, 2014 by Tree Reaper Quote
Contributing Member Samalan Posted March 19, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted March 19, 2014 Good 2 no tree Reaper as i have not yet done a real thick item thanks for the info. Sorry Wiz Quote
Tree Reaper Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 This is the actual one I purchased, it was from MSC Industrial and not Mcmaster. It's 24 inches long and I cut it in half. http://www.mscdirect.com/product/31935091?searchAhead=true&searchAheadTerm=31935091&typahddsp=31935091&hdrsrh=true Quote
