RobinJI Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 It's just polyurethane, should be easily available in the UK. Just have a quick search on Google or around industrial estates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 theres a place in the US that does it but you have to make a minimum order of like $50 and then you have postge on top of that. I can't find anywhere in the UK online and those who make pads themselves obviously don't want to tell anyone where they get theirs because they won't be able to make as much money. The only conclusion I can draw from this is that those who do get their material in the UK, are worried that their product isn't worth what they are charging, but unless we get the raw material ourselves, we will never know. What im getting at is that if a company is making real good pads, they should not be worried about telling people what material/durometer they use, as their production(quality of cut), glueing etc, should all be much better than what anyone can do at home....

RobinJI Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Oh right, yeah, I thought you meant you could only get large chunks of the stuff.Yeah, someone really should just tell people where they get it from. If they think that someone can make the same thing just as well at home for less, then they really need to sort out there producton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
