That's a great idea, Glenn. My dad has a leather tool set from his Boy Scouting days which includes a leather punch with various sized hole punches. As a kid, I found this set and began to experiment and still have a leather ring with holes 1/8" and 3/8" in it but I know there were 2 larger sizes and a total of 5 or 6 on a wheel that turned. Gotta find that kit as it also had some single leather punches and some shape punches. Going down in dad's basement shortly so if I don't return soon, send out a search and rescue Rodney.

Take a look at hole cutters in leather craft stores....Glenn Overton----- Original Message -----From: Mark DelaneySent: Monday, March 06, 2006 9:13 PMSubject: Re: [VFB] Foam AdhesiveYou may be able to find a set of old punches for boring holes in cork and rubber stoppers. They are basically brass tubes of various diameters with a T-handle at the top of the tube. The business end is harpened (and they even make a sharpeneer for that). I've got a set, that I just use for this purpose. (These days in the lab, we use a powered auger that takes a similar type of bit). You can make very similar punches from brass tubing obtained at hobby stores. I've also bouth a set of rotary punches off e-bay, that are supposed to mount in a drill press (less than $10, but shipping put it about 12 or 13 I believe. Ridderbos, I believe told me where I could get them.). Haven't used them much since my drill press is small and only the smaller diameters will fit it, and I just haven't taken them to a machine shop to get them truned down so that they'll fit. So there are three possibilities.

When they are tacky to the touch, but still a little damp, place the two pieces together under some weight and let them dry completely.Simple, cheap, and I have never had my foam separate in use.
