Aloha Bill,
I have enough to send some to both of you. What is your mailing
address? And, since the material has braille on it, and I assume that
we are both blind, may I send it Free Matter?

If you have some old NLS flexible discs they work well for braille.

American thermoform Co. sells "BrailleOn"
it's heavier than thermoform material and slick with adhesive
back. They also sell heavy duty thermoform plastic which is
not to be ripped, unless you need the adhesive backing, the heavy
duty thermoform might do you fine.

Seems like, in my younger stupider years, that I brailled on a piece of coke
can ripped and flattened out but I can't remember.
But the edges would be a hazard of course.

I pulled the following from the American Thermoform Corp:
I use this stuff and it works quite well. As a matter of fact, there is a
cut list stuck to the main support beam for my deck and it has been there
for more than two years now and the braille is just as readable as it was

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 th
What is out there which we can stick in an old perkin's brailler and achieve a
tough, durable copy of something?
I was thinking of brailling out measurements and stuff for things I make and
storing them out in my shop to refer too?
