Thanks everyone for the useful (and inventive) suggestions. Decision in first place is to try artists sketch pads.

[mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Jeff Hughes Sent: 14 December 2004 15:41 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: low-tech solution Perhaps some thin card would do the job? If so then the sheets could be made into a pad by putting a stack on some plain paper (to catch the drips) and placing a weight (a clean brick used to work well!) and painting one side of the stack with Copydex adhesive. (it has to be this kind of "rubber substitute" glue rather than PVA or plastic cement) When it has dried properly - takes longer han usual - it can be split into useable sized pads with a thin knife blade. This is essentially what the paper pad makers do but using available materials.
