New Recommendations for

CLEANING STAMPS AND STENCILS

 If using Gateway Graphic Ink Products purchased through NELMA, Stamps and Mylar Stencils should be cleaned frequently with isopropyl alcohol (general rubbing alcohol that can be purchased at most any grocery or drug store) and apply with a soft bristled brush.   Do not soak the rubber stamps in alcohol as this will cause the glue holding the stamp to the mount to deteriorate. 

 If spray paint is used on the stencils, Gateway Graphics suggests using paint thinner to clean the stencils.

Eastern White Pine VS. Radiata Pine. Learn about these two species in a side by side comparison. Who will be victorious?

 

Founded in 1933, the Northeastern Lumber Manufacturer's Association (NELMA) is one of seven lumber rules writing agencies in the U.S. accredited by the American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC) to write grade rules that are certified as conforming to the American Softwood Lumber Standard PS20.  NELMA is the official author and administrator of the grading rules for Eastern White Pine, in particular.

In addition to the quality control inspection audits we conduct at lumber manufacturers to ensure that on-grade Eastern White Pine products are meeting the needs of consumers, NELMA develops and distributes an array of technical information and unique promotional materials via our member-driven marketing program.  We encourage you to browse through the pages of this website and discover why Eastern White Pine is the very best choice when wood is considered, both environmentally sustainable and application versatile.
