Here is the latest newsletter, sent out 11th October 2008

Our news this month is that we have expanded our Wedi board range to two thicknesses; 1cm and 2cm. This is an extremely useful substrate for mosaicists. The blue core of wedi board is made from "Styrofoam" extruded polystyrene. Both sides of the rigid foam are reinforced with glass fibre mesh and coated with synthetic resin modified mortar. It is extremely light, tough, and can be cut with a sharp knife into any shape.  No power tools are needed.  It will not warp and is waterproof and suitable for outdoor use if the exposed foam edges are protected, either by a frame or a coat of cement or cement-based adhesive.  In the European building industry Wedi is used as an underlay for tiling applications in wet areas such as bathrooms.I have acquired the only stock of 1cm and 2cm Wedi board in Australia. When this supply is sold, that's it! There will be no more, as importing Wedi is prohibitively expensive. I am selling both thicknesses in 30 x 30cm, 60 x 30cm and 60 x 60cm sizes. Hanging attachments are sold separately.

You may have noticed quite a few *SOLD OUT* signs on the web site. Demand has been high for some colours, and the mixes are also proving extremely popular. Unfortunately shipping schedules dictate the speed of replenishing the stock from Mexico, and we are expecting a new shipment to arrive at the end of November. This will include some new colours, including pink iridescent, and some more tortilla colours. I will circulate a newsletter then.
