Try Bakers Plastics on Mahoning ave. on the west side of Youngstown.

Ya, Baker Plastics is about 1/2 mile W. of YSU. Also I get alot of material from www.craftics.com and www.mcmaster.com (McMaster Carr is an industrial supply, you may not be able to buy from them w/o an acc't. )

Baker doesn't typically stock tube and good cast tube is not cheap. Make sure you buy some Weldon plastic adhesive too. I go thru a pint of No. 3 every 6 mo.

#3 the thick stuff?

#3 is the fast set, water thin stuff.

And anyone can buy from McMaster-Carr, just an FYI :)

Ya, the thick stuff doesn't work very well and doesn't dry clear.

I've had an account w/ McMaster for 15 years so I've never done any Credit card buying from them. They are pricey but get you stuff out the door the same day and carry just about anyting you can imagine..

They actually have the best prices on cell cast tubing. I have to get my acrylic distributor to match them!

Cell cast tubing ain't cheap anywhere! :) McMaster is nice because I get next day turnaround from the Aurora warehouse almost every time if I order before 11 am.
