I usually buy mine from McMaster-Carr. They have a decent assortment and sell them by the sheet which varies depending on the size.

Jim, what do you mean by 1000ct? HIS has some on sale right now but not sure if that's what you're looking for.

If you are looking for the actual 3M bumpons I get those from Uline.com They are more expensive than many of the knockoff bumpons, I've found some of the cheaper ones to be, just that CHEAP. In that they turn yellow and the adhesive fails.

To make them 'almost' dishwasher proof apply weight/pressure for 24-48 hours.

Rick, do you know where you can buy just a couple sheets of these? Most of the places I've seen sell them by the case...

Thanks
