I was wondering if anyone has used PR from Tap plastics for casting pen blanks?

About the same price per gallon, but the shipping from Art Stuf was less.
Of course, I'm in AZ and Mr. F is on the East Coast.
Specifically:
Art Stuf: 1 gal resin and some dye, in 1 box: $13 shipping.
Last order they were supposed to email me a total before shipping, but didn't.
Mr. F: 2 Gal resin and some fiberglass, in 3 boxes. $50-70 (don't have
the receipt handy). It took >1wk for him to ship to me.
Of course there is also that ArtStuf's website sucks and Mr. F's is slightly more usable.

but hey, you're not comparing apples to apples. More product in more boxes should cost more. I just paid mr.fiberglass $48.17 for a gallon including shipping. I'm very happy with his product and service. UPS now has a surcharge on freight such as polyester resins and larger amounts have larger surcharges. Douglas and Sturgess (artstuf.com) currently has $48.17 as the price of a gallon not including shipping. When I can I get 5 gallons from Composites One in the Dallas-Ft.Worth. It is much cheaper that way...if that much is needed. I share it with another turner here in my hometown.
do a good turn daily!
