4.0 out of 5 stars Yep...it's rubber alright! May 31, 2012

I bought this with the intention of learning how to carve rubber stamps. Although I haven't gotten to spend too much time trying to learn this craft, I will say that this stuff carves really smoothly. There is the issue of the ends not being level due to the cutting process at the factory so there is an 1/4" border that is unusable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works fine but a little thin January 9, 2013

By Chelsea Myers

I needed this to make a stamp and it got the job done. It carves very easily and my tools just glide. My only issue was this piece is so thin. I felt like it could snap in two if I bent it at all. My stamp came out very well though. It is withstanding many uses, but the thinness makes it a little hard to hold, press down, and lift up with out dropping. Just use it very slowly.

I used this in an advanced art class with students from 4th - 12th grade. They all were able to make amazing art with this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE this stuff February 20, 2013

By txf

I love this stuff -- it's super easy to carve using a Speedball cutter and an Exacto. My stamps made from it hold up well and keep clean edges, and the material's cheap enough to not have to worry about screwing it up. I mount them on a scrap of wood after I'm finished carving them just to make it easier to get even impressions when I'm using it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great to start with January 20, 2013

By Myrhinne

This is a great carving block to practice with for the price. I just prefer a stiffer carving medium for precision. If your design doesn't require a lot of precision or your hands can't handle the stiffer premounted linoleum blocks, this is a decent carving medium to consider.

Speedball makes good quality products for affordable prices. This arrived in a timely manner and met my expectations. I like to pick these up to bump my order up high enough to get free shipping. You can always cut them down if wish to make smaller stamps, etc.
