I have a question about where to buy the material for making arrows and the materials name.

You want some type of piping insulation which can be found at most hardware stores.

I too have found it at my pet store, PetCo. They only have ~3/4" ID, but if they have it, maybe Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus will have the right sizes. Thanks for the tip ompa.

I know for a fact that Petsmart doesn't carry PETG (just checked there about half an hour ago).

This site was extremely helpful for me when I was trying to find brass for the first time. Just click on your state, and a list will come up with all hobby shops in that state. Just find one close to you, look it up in a phone book, and call.

That may be just your own local store though. Some ACE hardwares carry brass, mine doesn't. My Home Depot didn't used to have FBR.

Well, my Home Depot doesn't. But go here for some. http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=prod...96256-1410-C22H

I went to my local Petland today and what do they have... PETG. Apperently Petcetera carries it too but they were out of stock.

I was in a PetCo yesterday and I did find PETG, but it was the same 3/4". I believe that I also have a Petcetra around somewhere, so when I'm over in that direction, I'll check it out.

As far as brass goes, I'd say that if you're new and you have an Ace nearby, that should be the first place you check. Of three Ace stores, I've found brass at all three. That doesn't mean that all Ace's carry it, but it does mean that it's worth checking. Be aware that brass is a relatively uncommon item, so you may have to search the store yourself.

I have never seen brass at Lowes. I haven't been to more than one Lowe's though.

Hey I now were to get PETG at any locol pet store.

Home Depot's in Canada carry FBR for Mega Stefans (5/8") and Nano (3/8") but no 1/2", oh well.

Totem has 1/2" FBR though, for those of you in Alberta.

PETG: McMaster-Carr Doesn't have it in 1/16" steps, but does have it in 1/8" step sizes. Search for PETG Tubes. Comes in multiples of 6 feet.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

This isn't really a modding material, but a digital camera is extremely useful for doing mod writeups and necessary for um...taking pictures.

I don't know about you guys, but Drie's Do It center has alot of stuff. They sell 20' FBR for 3.99, as well as free PVC (In small segments). Apparently its rather useless. Unfourtunately they didn't have schedule 80.

Hey, this is my first post, but I've been reading your boards for a few weeks now. I just wanted to add for those of you that are looking for brass online, I recently bought brass from USA Hobby and thought they did a good job of low price and it arrived within a couple days of my order. This is good because they're located in Florida and I'm in upstate New York, so I was pleasantly surprised by the fast arrival. I hope this is helpful.

I found this site for PETG http://acetal-rod-sh.../petg-tubes.htm

This is a pretty common link from Spudtech.com.

Mcmaster-Carr

They claim to carry about a half-million products and have everything you could possibly need for modding nerf blasters and making homemades.
