Hi All.

Does anyone know where I can buy some letter stamps? I have some from Cookson but I'd like some even small ones, and maybe something in a nice font.

Thanks!

Ooh I bought some micromesh cloths and they are GREAT! though they do make my arm ache, and they smell bizarrely of tomatoes!

My very first Craft Fair is imminent, and I don't have any insurance.

Where can I get it and how much should I be paying?

Thanks!

thanks very much for your advice Dennis and Quant. Messages received and taken on board.

anyone have any experience of using any of these? what do you use to solder with if you are using copper for example?
where can i buy perspex sheet, and what is it like to cut/ file etc?
