Hi,
I'm trying to make my own flexible stamps, thinner than the rubber erasure
stuff you can buy in the art stores now. I've seen recently rubber stamped
pattern companies for patterning clay on the market. Anyone have a source?
The typical rubber stamp isn't deep enough.
Also, making up a batch of 03 Arbuckle majoica and want to be able to brush
it on. Would I just add CMC &/or bentonite to the amount I want to brush on=
?
I don't want to necessarily add it to a 5 g bucket.
Thanks,
Centa Theresa
