    Angry Don't Spoil My Fun!!

    I have just bought myself a uv curing light just so I can play with your new Photopolymer Kit...

    And I can't find either in the Cookbook!!

    What's a girl to do...except perhaps go paint her nails?

    How do I get a Photopolymer Plate Kit into my basket?.....Hmmmmm??

    Don't know the answer Barbara, but good grief those refill plates are expensive!!!

    I use an imagepac system (the most basic one starts at under £20), which is cured with a regular desk light, and the same size refill plates cost less than £1.70, and less still if bought in bulk.

    As far as I can work out, the end results are pretty much identical.

    I was gonna buy the kit featured in the Cooksons catalogue this week - out of stock! Now I don't feel so disappointed - sorry Barbara.

    If you want to have a look at the imagepac system (originally designed for rubber stampers), take a look here:

    I can't say I use mine that often (I use art clay only rarely, and barely ever stamp these days) but it's an excellent piece of kit, and very easy to use.

    Cheers, George - far more affordable plus the benefit of not needing UV!

    ...but I've gone and got a light now!!.

    They do look a lot cheaper don't they? I wonder if they still work with the uv....are they even the same thing??

    I get the impression they are liquid filled sachets - am I right? Whereas the Cooksons ones are plates you can cut to the size you want.....

    Have you had experience with both types George? Or you Nic? Is there any one who can give a comparative analysis??

    When anyone 'Cooksons' comes on line...could they see what is going on with the PPP Kits in the mini catalogue. I know there are at least 2 people in Runcorn who wanted to order it...so multiply this up country wide and you have a lot of disappointed customers!!

    ....If you haven't got it...don't flaunt it!!....
