ReplyDeleteHey Jana, I have a question about type holders... Do you think it worth the big price tag to get a doubleline self-centering typeHolder, or would a simple single line 4" do fine?..

..just your opinion from experience. Also, do I need brass type, or will foundry do ok?
Thanks. ~Sonya~

I like single line holders. I think a double line would be hard to get enough even pressure when tooling and would be awkward to place.
DeleteBrass or zinc type made for stamping is better. Foundry type will soften and sometime distort when using it and if you slip and it touches your stove it melts. Which happened to me doing the Water binding that I blogged about earlier.
