I want to get 1/2 inch Petg, But I don't have a pet store near me, closest one is 2.5 hours away, and I don't have my own car. Could you guys could you put a link to it so I can buy it right away. Thank you for your time

You're in the US, just buy it off McMaster. The proper parts number is in the darts and barrels forum, in the materials list, I believe.

Ok, thank you, also, Does their 1/2 inch ID 5/8 inch OD Petg tubes fit their 1/2 inch Foam Backer rods? Cause I want to make some #6 slugs.

The Lee's rigid tubing is not actually PETG, nor do you want the 1/2" size, nor is it available at most chain pets stores in the size you do want. The only places I have found it are small aquarium shops that have the variety display, and Amazon. You want the 9/16" size, as it is labelled for the outside dimension. The 1/2" size is far too small, though it is handy for making dart stops. The bigger drawback is the price. The PETG from Mcmaster is far less expensive, but shipping is ridiculous because of the length. I can't find the 9/16" stuff on Amazon at the moment, but the 5/8" would be similar (and is useful for clear RSCB clips that are CPVC sized). While prime shipping is nice, it ends up being over $3 per foot! My suggestion is to buy from McMaster, but buy it in a larger quantity of tubes than just one.

Mcmaster: http://www.mcmaster.com/#2044T43 $1.41 + shipping for 48".

The number for the actual PETG is 2044t43. The 1/2 x 5/8 tubes are actually polyester. But yes, their foam does fit in both PETG and polyester.

If you're looking for some foam, I'd suggest Drev's

Thank you all for the help. I am just confused as to where to find the foam at McMaster. there is a 3/8 inch backer rod, and a 5/8 inch one.

If you had just looked at Ryan201821's thread on how to make darts you would see that it is 93295K33 for 20' of 1/2 FBR and 93295K43 for 250'.

I did look at that thread, I just must have gone over it by mistake.
