bennypersson Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hi! Does anyone know where to buy Dr Scholl Moleskin + or smilar in Europe Benny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Davies Amps CAS Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 You should be able to buy it a a larger pharmacy. If you can't find it just buy it from one of the sound suppliers in the US. Postage is cheap and all these firms are great to deal with. There is also a moleskin that has a sticky backing to it. It is supplied by a costume or props company. I can't find the details but no doubt someone will be along in a minute with the information. Malcolm Davies. A.m.p.s.

afewmoreyears Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 That's a great deal on Moleskin by the roll.... One of the regular suspects sells it for @ 6.50 for one square foot.... This place John suggested sells 1ft. x 3ft. for 14.00!!! Skin tone and Black... Great deal.... thanks for the link John... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Davies Amps CAS Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 That's the place John. Very good to deal with and quick delivery by your excellent USPS to the UK. Malcolm Davies. A.m.p.s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennypersson Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks! Is there a difference between Molefoam Padding -Doctor Scholl's (2 Strips - 41/8 x 33/ and Moleskin - 12" wide /1 yard Neutral expect the size?

afewmoreyears Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 The foam version is thicker and in my opinion not as good for what we use it for, but better for actual foot problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhartigan Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I buy from a company that sells it by the case. Each roll costs me $3.80 for the 12" X 36" size. The contact is jamanhb@broadviewnet.net She has been very helpful and would probably ship it anywhere. I do wish that Moleskin would make a black and white version as the black we buy from Filmtools doesn't have the stick that original Moleskin does. The best stick I get is a combination of Joe's Sticky Stuff and Moleskin. It takes work to get that mic off wardrobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennypersson Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thank you Jay, I will contact her. When you mention Sticky Stuff they didnt have that in stock when my friend was at Coffey Sound last time. Havent found any dealers for them either in Europe. Any suggestions on that?

Christian Spaeth Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Here in Germany you can buy sticky moleskin like stuff in a drug store chain called DM. It's in the footcare section, like for blisters. Small packages though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayhartigan Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 I use the Joes to stick everything. Cub mics to the headliner in the car, lav mics to tee shirts that will become soaked with sweat, chef jackets, DSLR to the dashboard for driving shots you name it. Thanks For the welcome Mike!

James Arnold Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 These links are very useful. I've also found it impossible to get anything other than the rather silly corn pads here in the UK. One question though - these are big sheets - can you get small rolls of the stuff? I'm sure a friend of mine came back from the US with a little roll the size of transpore tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think that you'll use this product regularly what would you rather do, buy a sheet that will last you quite a while or keep buying the bits you can buy in the UK. Malcolm Davies. A.m.p.s.

I managed to buy it easily from UK ebay stores tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You misunderstand me. I was under the impression that sticky backed moleskin might be available pre-cut into small rolls or strips for portability and convenience of deployment. Obviously one could chop those larger sheets down, but as I say I have hazy memories of a friend having purchased a small bag-sized roll somewhere. I may be mistaken.
