Members dfrensdorff Posted January 21, 2016 Members Report Posted January 21, 2016 Looking for poundo board larger than 12"x24" ..... I've seen vids and photos of guys with their bench top covered in poundo, or what looks like poundo.......and maybe theirs is 12"x24" pieced together.......or all together something other than poundo.......thanks for any and all help and advice.......Don Quote
Members TigerPal Posted January 21, 2016 Members Report Posted January 21, 2016 Your local shoe/boot repair shop might be willing to sell you some of their soling material. It comes in a number of different thicknesses. Probably more expensive than poundo board, but does come in larger size. Quote
Members Bug Rancher Posted January 21, 2016 Members Report Posted January 21, 2016 Look around for someone that sells conveyor belt. It's sold by the foot in various widths. They can pull it off a giant roll and cut whatever length you want. Often, you can pick thru their remnants and get some for cheap! Quote
Members JREESER1 Posted January 21, 2016 Members Report Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I have used a hard, rubber semi truck/trailer mud flap. You can find them with a flat surface at most large truck stops or semi trailer parts departments. If I remember correctly they run from about 36"X24"' jr Edited January 21, 2016 by JREESER1 Quote
Members TinkerTailor Posted January 21, 2016 Members Report Posted January 21, 2016 In another thread i think it was determined that poundo was die cutting mat. Can't find it now. I did however find a tip on another site for disposable, cheap mini-poundo discs: Hockey Pucks. Quote
Members Dwight Posted January 21, 2016 Members Report Posted January 21, 2016 I went to a plastic supplier I found in the yellow pages, . . . took a sample of what I wanted. He took me back into his warehouse, . . . I brought out a piece, . . . 30 by 48, . . . 1/4 inch thick, . . . it is on my old work desk as we speak, . . . I think it cost me $40 or so. AND, . . . if you have a TSC or Rural King close, . . . ask them about bed liners for pickup trucks. If I were doing a 4 x 8 table or something near that size, . . . I'd seriously consider one of them. May God bless, Dwight Quote
ChriJ Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 I'm going to use a piece of horse trailer mat under my slab and I'm going to see how what's left over on my table to see how it works as a poundo board. It may work, it may not but I'll find out. Chris Quote

ChriJ Posted January 21, 2016 Report Posted January 21, 2016 Let me know........I have considered a stall mat to go on top of my bench I surely will. Might be a while though. I'm still in the process of building the shop in the barn. Chris Quote

Members TinkerTailor Posted January 22, 2016 Members Report Posted January 22, 2016 You can contact the manufacturer http://www.induscousa.com/cuttingpadapps.htm I searched and searched for these guys. I think you posted this in another thread a while back. Bookmarked now... Quote

I forgot who made it too, and had to look it up again. You can also order cutting board material in large sheets or different thicknesses from McMaster-Carr Quote

Search for HDPE sheet. That is the hard stuff, LDPE is softer. Edited January 22, 2016 by TinkerTailor Quote
Members Red Cent Posted January 23, 2016 Members Report Posted January 23, 2016 I have the ability to use a large horse stall mat. Mine is about 4' X 7' X 3/4". You can get a lot of sizes. Works great. http://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/search/horse%20stall%20mat Quote
