AyersTG Veteran Registered: 12/10/01 Posts: 1272 Loc: Upper Mississippi River Valley...	Susan, I believe your concern is valid with a PU base material. AFAIK Mylar has a higher sticky point temperature than PU. If that turns out to be the case, I suggest taking the sheet out, dusting it with talc on both sides (or possibly corn starch), and re-folding it for storage. Remember to close eyes and stop inhaling momentarily when shaking it out. (Any old rocketeer knows what I'm writing about). Regards, Tom

Ors Namu (Giant Tree) Addict Registered: 09/16/05 Posts: 664 Loc: Florida, USA	Maybe I misunderstand your post, but it seems I was not clear. What I meant was the link for the Google search for AMK turned up some websites, and I'm curious if the heat sheets listed on those sites are the new ones or the originals. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ Ors, MAE, MT-BC Memento mori Vulnerant omnes, ultima necat (They all wound, the last kills)
