It appears to be a term more in common use in Canada. <hr /><a name="a4527_5"></a><p><b>From: jeff (JCHUMBLEY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4527.5">#5</a>]<br /> 4 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: Dave Jones (DAVERJ)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4527.3">#3</a>] 5 Aug 2006</p> <p>Now I went to search and put in lamicoid and nothing came up in the search function. Hmmm</p> <p>I also found an international website for engravers that listed the term and here is the definition.</p> <p>lamicoid: a trade name for rigid phenolic engraving material which is no longer manufactured. Sometimes this material is misspelled 'lamacoid'. Norplex and micarta are two other phenolic engraving materials. These phenolic materials incorporated components which are carcinogenic. IED sells flexible engraving materials made of safe (they say) acrylic plastics. </p> <p>the site for those interested is </p> <p>www dot gravers dot com slash iedwords dot html</p> <p>Jeff</p> <hr /><a name="a4527_6"></a><p><b>From: Mike (MIKEN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4527.6">#6</a>]<br /> 4 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: jeff (JCHUMBLEY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4527.5">#5</a>] 4 Aug 2006</p> did you try "lamacoid"? <hr /><a name="a4527_7"></a><p><b>From: jeff (JCHUMBLEY)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4527.7">#7</a>]<br /> 4 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: Mike (MIKEN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4527.6">#6</a>] 4 Aug 2006</p> That is another way to spell it.

The only relation was that it was 2 ply and engravable. It was a hard heat and chemical resistant melamine (sort of like bakelite but doesn't chip as easy). Rowmark might look like it, but is a lot softer and lower melting point.<hr /><p align="center">Show messages: <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4527.1">All</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4527.1">1-3</a>  4-9</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2025 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
