How to cut sorbothane?

Do you have any pictures of the completed discs you can post somewhere? I wouldn't mind seeing how they turned out with the punch.

I can email photos if you send me your email address.

Herbie's Big Fat Dots are NOT Sorbothane, and have virtually no similarity to Sorbothane. Big Fat Dots are a unique blend of barium sulfate-filled platinum-cured silicones and vinyl siloxanes. They are not "squishy" like Sorbothane, but rather are a very firm, vibration blocking material. (And, by the way, the raw materials themselves are quite expensive.) Please do not compare Herbie's products with others; it's like comparing apples to soda pop.

Thank you very much,

To describe all sorbothane generally as squishy is not accurate. Sorbothane (or ultra-soft polyurethane) is squishy or firm...depending on the durometer, which ranges from 30 to 70: 30 being about like a racquetball and 70 being similar to a pencil eraser.

For more info, search "sorbothane" on www.mcmaster.com.

Earlier in the thread, I stated that Herbie's Big Fat Dots are sorbothane. This was erroneous, and I should have been more careful about that statement. For that I extend my apologies to Steve (Herbie's).

It still may be valuable for those interested to compare the Big Fat Dots to sorbothane of a similar firmness. One never knows what's going to work best in any given system.

I'll bet you any amount of money McMaster-Carr stocks precisely the same sorbothane used by Herbie.-Tvad

Okay, I'll bet one million dollars. (Herbie's Audio Lab does not use Sorbothane or any variant of Sorbothane.)
