I'm making coasters from polymer clay and am looking for something to back it other than felt. Would these work?

Yes, I think they would, but you might be able to see them a little from the side, but that would be okay. You might want to use larger ones so they won't be wobbly at all.

They're not very thick, so honestly I doubt it would be very effective. Cool idea, though. You just probably want thicker ones.

Yes they can. Acrylic paint is best. You can also add stickers to them. I added monograms to a few. The rest I just left as is. Enjoy your coasters.

I mainly use my coasters with cold and noticed that the water pooling did cause some damage. It seems hot might cause an indent or melt. :-/

I would not try it. They will break up and crumble. You need smaller harder beads. Try doing a search for foam or plastic fillers (you may need to specify beads, or furniture, or non-toxic) at www.thomasnet.com

I am not sure but would think they would. The hard casters roll very easily on our deck and for carpet, I think the hard coasters would work better than soft ones. Best stands I have ever owned.

I have not tried, however I do not think they can since Felt is made for hard surfaces like hardwood or tile. Use slides with the plastic back for carpets.

I don't see why not. But you could just get sticky back felt pads for the feet of the chairs for a fraction of the price. Not to say that this product isn't worth it. It definitely works great for me, with no worries of scratching my new wood floor.

Honestly no I dont think these would be the ones for you...I thought they were low quality myself but works for beads and nail art...liquid I would be scared...

Yes...easily....especially for small applications. I have used for mostly big applications like table tops with mementos submerged into the resin. For coasters.....this may sound stupid but it is quite simple. Use a Red Solo Cup this would make for a great coaster casting mold....it is a bit small on the bottom but they do make larger cups that you could use the base for coasters. It's simple because you put in whatever you want to preserve in the resin. Once it hardens you just cut and peel the plastic cup away and it comes off/out like an ice cube from an ice cube try. Hope this helps! I have also used Forceflex garbage bags to catch overspill and noticed that it peels easily from forceflex bags.....so you could make your own cup mold with forceflex bags...but it will have the diamond pattern in the cast resin.

Probably not. There are others I've seen that have a circle in the middle to screw then to a surface. I think that would be better for metal/hard plastic. Or remove the plastic and see if you can attach a felt pad the same way.

I used it to seal the top of a small play stage I made for a 3 year old. It was being tap-danced on 24 hours after application with no problems. I think your coasters would be fine after a day or two.

I covered these blanks with polymer clay which should have added some strength to hold its shape. It did not hold. A thicker blank would most likely be better for your project.

I'm not sure. They are 2 cometely different textures but in theory it could work. The paper clay is more arid n porous n fibery. Try a sample n see what you get. I don't know for sure

I use this glue to put flat back rhinestones on painted plastic and they stick like cement. You should have no problem with paper.

They're small enough that you probably could and theys rent heavy. I used them for my daughters 3rd birthday party to put jewelry in for the girls. You may be fine with hot glue since they're so light. Good luck!

Try the paint and see what happens. Can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. I've used my set primarily for Zendoodles and had no problem with pen and ink on the coasters.
