Hi, new to this site. Been turning for about 6 or 7 years. Got really tired of shop tiwels absorbing my ca glue and started looking atriums for substitutes. Found one idea of using zip lock baggies, but then found these thin "foam" sheets they sell at Walmart. It's in the department that sells stuff for kids to do crafts with. Sheets are about 5"x7" and are very thin. No I haven't measured the thickness. Anyway, I have use a paper cutter to make strips about 1 - 1 1/2inches wide or thinner if needed. I find that the foam does not absorb as much glue as shop towels, so it saves me a bit of money, plus it seldom starts smoking like the paper towels do. I can normally get 2 completed pens from one strip cut to about an inch.
Just thought I'd make a suggestion. Please let me know if it works for you.
