HI Larry Slaters  do mail order if 8 mm will do. Just checked Slater's web site 8mm or 13.5mm no 10 mm

Hi
Yes 8mm would do, they look spot on but postage is a bit high ..

Thanks for the link.

Is postage of such a small item usually that high in the UK? It's more than the price of the item {:-{

No, your post was very helpful, and is what I am after, but the post for that should be no more than 1.50, I post enough things to know that 3. Is way over the top.
but your post was apreciated
not your fault about postage.

No its a bit steep, but probably covers for larger orders.

Some companies charge P&P and include a labor charge as well as the cost of the Jiffy Bag and postage.


I have had a company charge P&P of one pound for an A4 sheet of special decal print paper. But posting 3 sheets was 3 quid.
I wont be using them again.

Saw some thick lettering in my local HobbyCraft today, didn't note the sizes because that was not what I was looking for, might be worth a looksee.
Letraset letters, stick on lettering, looked to be about 1.5-2mm thick letters.
