Acrylic Shell Shock

[MikeyMike]

Don't know if this will help as our local Woodcraft bin has been a downfall as I approach the check out. I have bought a lot of them , haven't had time to turn any yet. The ones locally are all bear tooth woods a lot have a sticker on them.
Bear Tooth Woods here is their page. Other than acrylic's I couldn't find any more of a description. I will be looking forward to the answers in this thread to stop any problems/bad habits before they start!

I'm very partial to the Rhino Plastic blanks. I love the colors and they are very forgiving. I've had a number of acrylic blanks shatter and on examination of the tube, I found that the epoxy coverage was not complete in almost all cases. The acrylic seems fail in compression without 100% support given by the epoxy bond to the tube.

They finish really well, too. Nice deep color and very shiny.
