Welcome to the grumble

Have you contacted N-B for a list of their suppliers So that you can comtact them?

We used to have a grumbler who was in Cabo San Lucis

See the directory --- #1649 Kakkibassi
 
Here are the Texas Distributors of Bainbridge. A little tough to follow because I copied it off the web site. They do not list international distributors to I think Jerome is right in that you'll have to contact N&B to see if there is someone in Mexico.

Fortuna, welcome to the grumble!
If you need something in the meantime, you can always bond two 4 ply boards together. I do so quite regularly, in fact I will sell every solid core rag board as either 4 ply or 8 ply and have it priced out in my POS. Customers get hooked on the look once they see it.

edie,

When you bond the two boards together - What's the temp and time, and do you use a vacuum press?
thanks

Mitch
 
Mitch i have done it with just atg tape the pieces together. I think put them in the press you might effect the matboard to much, ie wwapage etc.
 
Mitch,
I use the temp that the press happens to be at that moment. That is, anywhere from 180- 210, I suppose. Dwell time is a bit long. I think I left one in for a half hour or so once when I took an involved phone call (okay, it was my mom) and it looked pretty darn good. I would say a few minutes would do it though. I always cool it under weight and have yet to see one warp.
I use a regular old 500T heat press, I have never used a vacuum press.
