[dorkbotsea-blabber] Small section of large-diameter acrylic tube wanted. Where to get?

[Dan Nowacki]

I personally have had success with a place called Delvie's Plastics  
online.  They don't list tube as one of their carried items but they  
were far cheaper than the other guys when I was in need of some  
acrylic rod.  It might be worth calling them and seeing what they can  
do for you.

I also have had success ordering smaller (4" or 6" dia) acrylic tube  
from this site, though it wasn't particularly cheap:  http://

Good luck,
Dan
