I am trying to locate a product called scribecoat or scribebase. It was used by cartographers to scribe lines and create a negative for reproduction purposes. Hopefully, some of you know what I'm talking about. Kimoto, one of the major manufacturers, stopped producing it three years ago. I can't locate anyone else who manufacturers it. I realize that very few (if any) people are using this stuff anymore. However, my students have a real need for it. I am pretty desperate after weeks of researching. Mark Harrower at U of Wisconsin located some in their cartography lab and is sending it to me. If anyone has any of this product, or knows someone who has some, I would be so very appreciative to be in touch. I would love to purchase people's stock, particularly if it is not being used. Thanks in advance for any advisement/assistance, Marnie Powers-Torrey Book Arts Program Marriott Library University of Utah --
