200 Antique Bronze Tone 13/16 Inch Metal Blanks Round Metal Stamping Blank and Charms 20mm Diameter

These are a bit thin and do need to be cleaned, then polished if you want a shiny piece. This can easily be achieved by scrubbing with 000 steel wool, or even lightly and quickly using a wet Brillo pad. You can then polish them with a polishing cloth ( I use the Sunshine brand sold here on Amazon) and can get a really nice shine on these blanks. They look more like a slightly darker brass, than bronze, but still very nice color. Maybe a patina can be applied for a darker, richer look, but I haven't tried that. They are a bit on the thinner side, but can be stamped and domed, so long as you don't use to much pressure/weight on your tools. You may need to try it out on a few blanks before you learn how hard to strike on them so you get the outcome you are looking for. If you are okay with these being a bit on the lighter/thinner side, you will be happy with this purchase. , All in all, I find these to be pretty nice in quality where you can obtain a good quality finish with just a light cleaning and some hand polishing. All for a very nice price.

I wanted to try these after reading the very mixed reviews. They ARE very thin, but I found them easy to work with. On my first try, I stamped "love" and it came out very shallow. It looks fine and is readable, but I decided to try something different on the second one. For "joy" I placed a thin piece of cardboard on top of the metal block, under my tag. This gave me a nice, deep impression. I had to apply much less pressure than I usually do when stamping, and I found this to be a good thing. I like that they are light, and there are so many in the pack for such a great price, that it's no big deal if I mess a few up. That takes the pressure off and makes stamping even more fun.

Really thin but difficult to stamp at the same time. A lot of them were bent, one completely in half, when I received the product. But they're cheap and good to practice on.

these are a good size but easy to bend if you are not super careful! Definitely get a thicker gauge of you are a beginner! But they are nice!

Excellent for my crafting needs. Easy to bend into the exact curvature I require.

Extraordinarily thin, many of them came already bent in half. I would of liked to try metal stamping them just to see how well they would of done. but since they came damaged i returned without trying. They honestly were thinner then a piece of paper xD

So, all the negative reviews about the thinness or the metal not actually being bronze obviously didn't read the description. I love these because they are as I expected. Small and thin. No problem using metal stamps on them other than they like to curl and that's no big deal. The only thing that would make me like these more would be a bigger hole. Even a small split ring won't fit, but a jump ring will and I can just put the split ring through that. You get a lot of these and it was a very reasonable price when I purchased.

I knew these were "ultra thin", but that's an understatement. They suggest using these for metal stamping practice. That's what I wanted them for. They are WAY too thin for that. They curl up under the slightest hit and if you hit hard enough to annually imprint the letter properly you'll end up with damaged stamps. Under light pressure my stamp went through the blank enough to dent the bench block. Any lighter in pressure and you can't see the letter stamp clearly. These are NOT suitable for stamp practice unless you plan on buying new stamps as bench blocks. They are simply too thin to get enough depth for stamping.I wish I had paid more attention to the size. The description doesn't give the thickness aide from "ultra thin". The expanded details show the .33 mm thickness. I took the description at face value and now I'm left with about 195 useless pieces of metal. I'm sure they could be used for some crafts, but not for metal stamping like I intended.
