I have done pretty well with the mdf-backed cork coasters from the Walton Company. They are no longer selling the blanks, and I have been searching frantically for something similar. My searches turn up sublimatable coasters with a cork back, but those are far too thin. I don't have sublimation equipment.
The Walton Company coasters have a 1/8" hardboard back with a 1/8" cork top. I have enough for one more order of the round coasters.
I don' have any woodworking equipment either, so I am stuck with trying to buy something similar. I've had so many compliments from the people who have bought them from me about the hardboard back, so I'm trying to stick with that.
Any suggestions? I would be willing to import if the price is right. The Chinese resources sell the sublimatable coasters, not what I'm looking for.
Thanks so much!
