Need stopper cones
MikeinCapeMay
>I just checked PSI and find that they are out of BS-1 stopper cones with no re-stock date. I'm looking for another supplier, other than Craft supplies and Packard. Does anyone have a source for these stoppers, hopefully similarly priced, that is to say $1.99 ea. in quantities over 100.
Thanks in advance

Using shop scrap I figger cork, dowl, wood, sandpaper, and finish (usually Behlen's Woodturner's Finish, also from Woodcraft) costs me total about 20 cents per stopper, turns at rate of 10/hr., and bring $10-25 ea depending on how figured the wood is.
