looking for letter set - 3/16" - (if on stamp not reversed)
Hi,
I'm trying to find a letter set, 5/32" - 3/16" high (caps only). Stand-alone letters or on stamps. If on stamps, then not reversed. (would produce a reversed image if you inked it...) They need to be at least 1/32" thick (if on a smamp then raised that high), but prefereably 1/16" thick. (If they are beads, then no extra loops for stringing.) Anyone know where I can get this? (I found a reversed metal stamp set for stamping metal, but the letters are not flat on top, they are rounded (one set looks pretty sharp) to facilitate stamping steel. I need them to be flat.) Thanks |

Are they pronounced enough that you could mill the top off of all of them and make them flat? Might be hard to do, but might also be the only way to get them... -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 http://www.AutoDrill.com http://www.Multi-Drill.com V8013-R |

Inked letters (like rubber stamps and typesetter print) are reversed to come out correctly when inked. Could you use a set of reversed letters and make your own molds to make letters facing the way you want them? |

Go to a well-stocked scrapbook store. They have all sorts of letters
-- not just rubber stamps, not just stickers. The one near me even has miniature Scrabble letter tiles. |
