Dear Betsy,
If Matt does not want these, I would love to have them.

Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] tough braillable materials?
Aloha Matt,
They still make braillables which are those sticky backed sheets, but
when the backing is removed, they aren't as durable as the thin
thermoform paper. However, I do have some heavy clear plastic
material that I use to make covers for the documents that my company
produces. I buy them from a company called
Southwest Plastics, but if all you want is 25 or so of them, I have
some that have 1 line of braille on them that were errors. They
measure 8-1/2 by 11, or 9 by 11.
They are all 19 hole punched along one long side. I use a paper
cutter to make 3 by 5 and 4 by 6 cards for addresses and the like
that I really want to keep, but I have more than I need.
I use a good-old-fashioned braille writer to braille them.
Betsy
