I get my plastic bumpers from our local lumber yard supply dealer. They sell kitchen cupboards and get them from their cabinet suppliers for putting on the inside of the cupboard doors.

I order acrylic bumpers from Craftics. They were the most affordable I could find in bulk, they come in lots of sizes and colors...but Google 'Bumpons' and see what you come up with.

mcmaster-carr.com has a variety of polyurethane stick ons that make good coaster feet...

I use the same bump-ons as Steve. I find they are easy to work with and stick well. You will find that you will go thru a lot of them once you start selling. These also hold well on the surface you place them on.

if you need just a few, home depot sells them, but they're much more expensive that way than buying in bulk.

I've used the clear bump-ons and they work fine... however, what I don't like is on a transparent glass coaster, even the clear ones can be seen from the top. Opal glass is no problem. Anyone else agree... or maybe I'm just being too picky about the look.

:idea: make large chads out of the same glass as the coaster base and cold fuse them on.

If you can't find a satisfactory local source, I can supply for US $6/100. - $50/1000.

They're almost weightless, so cheap to mail.

What's a "chad"?

cut small (1/4" to 1/2") squares of 1/8" glass. lay singly on washed shelf. fire to fusing temps. they'll bead up and become smaller and round.
