I'm searchin'
« on: June 24, 2013, 05:29:35 AM »

 Walt Umland doesn't sell leather fillets anymore, so I am searchin' for a new supplier, without having to buy a large amount of them.
  Any body help???

  Thank's...

I've never used it, but I know that it's intended purpose is for use on wooden patterns for sandcastings. I'd start by finding a local sandcasting shop, ask if they make their own patterns, and if not, where they get them made. I'd go to whoever makes their patterns and plead with them to sell me some leather fillet stock, and/or offer to take scraps off their hands.   y1 Steve

I may be wrong but I thought Jim Lee use to sell them. He now has a website so check the vendors section.
