Need material that's like linoleum without twine backing

Aug 09, 2004 3 Replies

I'm looking for some material that has the same characteristics as the olive/tan colored linoleum you find in art supply stores. I.e. - can be precisely sanded, readily cut with an X-acto knife etc. I would need it to come either in approx. 1/8" sheets or be readily mixable so that you could pour it into a flat sheet of uniform thickness.



The reason I ask is I can't seem to find the linoleum in the art stores without the twine backing molded into it and the cloth gets in the way of what I'm trying to do with it. Does it come in those thin sheets without the backing?



Thanks!


Doc asked:

Are you looking for the carving characteristics more than appearance? Tried vinyl tile from a home improvement center?

B&Q and other DIY stores do them in Uk with sticky back. Looks like Wood Panel Flooring. About £15.00 a pack of 8.
