    Disposable WECO Blocks.

    When I used to work in a wholesale lab in the finishing department they used these blocks that were meant to be thrown away after each use. They came prestuck with a leap pad to a sheet of about 20 and we would order them by the case.

    I need to find the company that supplies them and for the life of me and hours upon hours of searching the net I can't find anything. I was hoping one of you guys might remember these or still be using them and be able to point me in the right direction.

    The lab hubby works at used to use those with the Step 2 and got them from Coburn. He does warn that upon occasion it seemed like it left a bit of a film. Compared it to art gum erasers..
