    Glad it arrived safely.

    Members should note that the shipping prices listed at the start of this topic were as at February 2012. Current rates can be found in Member Services here - Link . The price per sheet is unchanged.

    Many thanks for everyone's orders - 485 sheets sold to date.

    I'm on the way....
    You can always make your own. This from a steam modelling forum.

    Gland packing. Get some COTTON string (none of your old plastic stuff) pop it in a small pot with a load of Molybdenum die Sulphide based grease which has had a few drops of STP or Wynns oil additive stirred in to it.
    Get the cotton string well impregnated and use. I have made several such stuffing boxes with success.

    The string already prepped is readily available if you know a friendly model engineer. A few inches will last a life time.
