I was unsure where this thread should go as it is more than a wtb for petg, so hopefully it will make-do here.

So, who is currently selling large amounts of 1/2" PETG? There have been a series of large sales threads such as Split's, but I believe all of them have closed with the OP's currently inactive.

Who or where is the go-to for buying PETG nowadays? Are there still users that regularly sell? I know McMaster sells but their shipping is awful.

I will check my local areas, but in general has anyone had luck finding barrel sized petg in aquarium stores like Pet Co.? I know plunger tube sized PETG can often be found, but havent heard of 1/2".

I have over 300 4 foot lengths of 1/2 inch petg tubing thick wall. But im in England i could find out shipping for you if you would like.
Shipping would probably cheaper if it was in 2 foot lengths.

Your best bet will just be to buy bulk from mcmaster. While it's true that their shipping rates are ridiculous, they're the easiest way to get it. Most people don't sell PETG anymore cause it's very time consuming.

You probably don't want to buy as much as Visipak's minimum order quantity, but here is a link anyways.

I believe NoM may be selling it, I vaguely remember him saying something about it on his youtube a few months ago.

Yup NoM sells it. It goes for .50 cents a foot, I believe.

I would just go with mcmaster because I order from there nearly twice monthly, and I don't pay too much in shipping. But if you're really desperate check local stores like petsmart, or specific aquarium shops. They wont have the exact same thing that you can get off mcmaster, but it might fit your darts well.

I believe venom sells it on ebay. That seems pretty easy.

Thank you for the help. I'll get in touch with nom and check out the Mcmaster rates. I feel like this answers the question that there are no more sellers, as it sounds like McMaster is the best place to go in general. Mods feel free to close this if you would like.

It's PE, not PETG, so it's slightly weaker. However, this fits darts that have a diameter slightly greater than 1/2'' perfectly. It's also dirt cheap at $1.41 for 4 feet of it. In addition, it fits the turret holes in all Airtechs perfectly with no Dremeling or e-taping. Hope this helps!

I have never bothered to correct your mistake, but the stuff you are talking about is in fact petg. If you go to the visipak website(where I think all the old sellers used to get it)you will see a small box at the bottom that says "want a smaller quantity", and if you click on that it directs you to the mcmaster page.

No need to buy in bulk from McMaster, I only order small amounts at a time.
