[Jewelry making - Article 00121] - Re: [Orchid] [Australian Source] Hydraulic Press Rubber

    Regarding rubber for the hydrolic press in Australia- in Art School
    we used old rubber reclaimed from tires for dieforming in the press.
    It worked well cut to the size of the die, overlapping the sides a
    few inches to allow for the press pushing the pieces into the form.
    Stack them as high as you want the piece to be deep. 

Hope this helps a little-
Stephanie Swanson
