Deli papers, From GFS but you can get them from most restaurant supply. They are wax coated and great for a disposable surface for adhesive work painting etc. 12"x10 3/4"500 in a box for about $8.00 above. They have smaller and larger sizes.

Poly cutting boards, also good for a work surface, or to make jigs and fixtures. They slide well due to natural lubrication. Come is a pairs and different sizes. Under $10.00 at your local Wallly type world, in the kitchen items. They are cheaper than buying it as sheet goods most places. If you need larger sizes GFS (Gordon Food Services) has them.

In my shop I have a box of aluminum foil, wax paper, parchment paper-good because it has no wax on it. I also have a small bottle of alcohol that I use for clean up of many substances especially epoxy. I like the idea of the deli paper since they are individual sheets.

The source for your deli papers also sells large aluminum foil rolls. I stabilize with mesquite mans chamber that uses up a bit and I find it handy to have around for other things. & it is more cheaper in the large roll
 
I have several cutting boards in the shop that I use for EVERYTHING since nothing I have will stick to it. I like the deli sheets idea, I have a roll of wax paper but the sheets seem that would be easier in a pince when I have epoxy all over my gloves and need just a little more..... Thanks for the tips.


Here are my little add to's on this.
Q-Tips for painting inside tubes
Bamboo Skewers - I use these to mix and spread my epoxy. When one round is done I stick the stick in the old epoxy and cut it off to reviel a new edge to stir the next round. This minimizes waste in my opinion becasue when I glue I do about 20+ pens at a time an I can only get 3-4 from a batch of 5min epoxy before it starts to set up.
