Rubber Hand Stamps and the Manipulation of Rubber

Rubber Hand Stamps and the Manipulation of Rubber - A practical treatise on the manufacture of India rubber hand stamps, small articles of India rubber, the hektograph, special inks, cements, and allied subjects

The present work hardly needs a preface. The object is to present in the simplest form the subject of the manipulation of india rubber. To mould and cure the mixed gum but few appliances are needed, and these can be made at home. The articles produced are of more than ordinary utility. These two facts give value to the art and furnish a raison dtre for this book. If its instructions do not prove practical it will have missed its object. For some reason the methods of moulding the material are not generally known. Experiment has taught many the futility of attempting to melt and cast it. While thus intractable by the usual methods, it is the most plastic of materials when properly treated. Its power of reproducing the finest details of a mould, of entering all the intricacies and undercuttings of a design, cause one to feel a peculiar pleasure in working with so responsive a material. It is not saying too much to affirm that to some readers this book will disclose a long hidden secret. To make it more generally useful it is writteniv for such readers, to meet the want of those knowing of the subject. It was felt that in following this course, and in treating the subject from its first steps, including the simplest as well as most advanced methods, the book would appeal to a larger body of readers. The allied subjects to which some chapters are devoted will be acceptable to many readers. The hektograph is given in several modifications. A substitute for rubber stamps which stands the severe usage of the Post Office has very distinct merits, and the manufacture is accordingly described in detail. Cements and inks embody many special formul. In the last chapter interesting and practical notes will be found. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
