They are 5.5 x 8.5 double sided sticky pads. We have only changed the pads twice since we started engraving 4 months ago. We lay the tags down and they stay even tho we are drag engraving. When it starts to lose the tackiness, I wipe it with a wet paper towel. Consider that we have done 42 tags at a time and engraved probably 14,000 tags on this machine using these pads. It is great. <br /> I decided to try to use it for Flexi Brass name badges. It works great!<br /> I like it much better than the rubber pads.<br /> It comes in packages of 10 and the part number is AS-10 for $34.99</p><hr /><a name="a361_4"></a><p><b>From: LaserMike</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=361.4">#4</a>]<br /> 6 Oct 2004<br /><b>To: bruce (BBSD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=361.1">#1</a>] 7 Oct 2004</p> <p>Interesting idea! Would you happen to have a Staples part number for that? I searched staples.com website and couldn't find this product.</p> <p>As my "luck" goes, whenever I am looking for something specific - such as the sticky pad - I can never seem to find it. </p> <p>Such that if I were to go to Staples tomorrow and I ABSOLUTELY needed to get some staples, they wouldn't have any, and the "sales" staff would not have a clue as to what I was looking for.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p>-Mike</p><hr /><a name="a361_5"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=361.5">#5</a>]<br /> 7 Oct 2004<br /><b>To: LaserMike</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=361.4">#4</a>] 12 Oct 2004</p> <p>They are usually called pads for cell phones for cars, maybe with non-slip or sticky in the name.</p> <p>I cannot remember exactly what it was called when my wife bought it.

I dont think it has the sponge hole characteristics needed to "hold" material in place. The sticky pad is somewhat thicker, and has zero transparency. The shades looked like they diffused the light, but let it pass through. Let me know if I'm wrong, so I can order some too!</p> <p><br /> I've been using the "sticky pads" for 3 months now. They are avaliable at our local autozone automotive store. I found they do move a bit when doing small 1 x 3 plates. (diamond drag) But I use them on large plates and they work great! And they are just a bit cheaper than the multimat.</p> <p><br /> Justin</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 12 Oct 2004 by ARAMEMBER</p> <hr /><p>Message 361.11 was deleted</p> <hr /><a name="a361_12"></a><p><b>From: Harvey only (HARVEY-ONLY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=361.12">#12</a>]<br /> 15 Oct 2004<br /><b>To: bruce (BBSD)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=361.11">#11</a>] 15 Oct 2004</p> <p>Be careful with it when you find it.

We do small plates on ours all the time - but as added insurance we put a small cut piece of plastic around the tag to be engraved as we diamond drag. We push the plastic tags right up against the engraved tag - you get more surface area this way & adds stability to the tag being engraved. <hr /><p>Message 361.19 was deleted</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=361.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=361.1">1-2</a>  3-19</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
