Worn out bed on clicker

[cowboycolonel]

So what is the prevailing wisdom out there?  Do we shop for a new bed, try to get this one re-surfaced (and if so, how), or what?  The clicker has been USED and is still in great shape, except that the bed has been worn down to the point that just about every "click" results in a stuck die.  Of course this means that sometimes the piece gets stuck in the die and then possibly stretched out of shape on removal.  Operating from the adage that "Money spent on tools doesn't count", where do I go and what do I do?  Suggestions

So your urethane is shot?

Clicker beds are rarely wood anymore.  Most companies have gone to Polypropylene.  They come in different colors which correspond to the hardness.  leather us usually cut on the red boards which is about a68 on the harness scale.  We use the white boards at work.  it is a little harder because we cut foam, plastic and carbon fiber.  You can get 

different thickness.  If you need a thick board over 2", they can be glued to plywood.  Contact  Manufacturers Supplies in Missouri.  They sell clickers and boards.

Never would have thought polypropylene would work in a wood planer.
