Hello everyone,

I have noticed that most people that make homemade blasters seem to be getting there raw materials from Mcmaster car. I cant find half of the things they sell in places in canada, online or in a retail store. My question is if there is a Canadian version of Mcmaster? I don't mean if Mcmaster car has a store in canada, i would have just googled that. I mean is there a Canadian store online or otherwise that is a one stop shop like mcmaster is for buying parts for homemade blasters. If there are any places that carry anything from the list below the post i would love to know, even if it s only one thing off the list.

-wye joint
-polycarbonate sheets and tubes
-compression springs
-clear pvc
-petg
-nylon rods

Equipment in Canada huh?

Well, I'd say you could find the wye in any hardware store.

Polycarbonate? Never seen it in any retail store myself, never used it either for that matter...

Compression springs? Hardware store again.

Clear PVC? Nowhere I know of. You may have to settle for white or black. Sorry.

PETG? I honestly don't even know where you could find it in the U.S. as I have never looked for it.

Nylon rods....What are you using it for? In what diameter? You might try hobby shops maybe???

Stock up for the winter: Raw Materials

Keep in mind I don't live in canada so I don't know exactly what your hardware stores carry, but I assume there are Lowe's and Home Depots and all the rest up there same as here.

Wyes- as far as I know, the only 2 places you can get them are McMaster or flexPVC.com. I'll bet you could get one of them to ship to canada.
Polycarb sheet and tube- Hardware stores carry thin sheets, thicker ones you can get online or from me. Tubes are definitely cheapest from US plastics, and you can have them cut it in whatever length you want, to reduce shipping costs.
Compression springs- My specialty. Probably sometime this fall, I will start another order for [k26]'s and [k25]'s like I did this past year. They went in under 2 weeks, so I assume there will be high demand once again. I think it will start to be a tradition soon. If you need a few now, I got you covered.
Clear PVC- also my specialty. Well, depending on what size you need. 1 1/4" Clear PVC 8 foot lengths are 30.00 + FREE shipping until the 28th of this month, get em while they're hot. Other sizes may be in stock soon.
PET-G I assume you mean tubes. Out of luck on this one. McMaster is the only place I know of.
Nylon rod- not carried in hardware stores as far as I know. I carry it in 3 lengths, 6', 3', 1'.

Hope this helped,

Okay thanks guys, i will look at those web sites. i wish there was a place like mcmaster in canada but i guess i could just pay the extra shipping if they will ship it to me. Since i'm a fng I can do on any selling or trading threads but as soon as i'm aloud ill be buying some pvc and petg off you. Thanks for the offer I will message you about it as soon as i'm aloud.
