Cheap Stuff

Recommended Posts

This Saturday is the ACE Hardware 20% off sale. You get one big paper bag and whatever you can fit in it, you'll get 20% off!!!! They have copper wire, bead chains and all kinds of stuff that you can find uses for. Hope you can use this to your advantage. John Madden says it's the best deal of the century.

 

Good Luck,

Jake

I spend alot of time in craft stores looking for supplies but never a hardware store. I would feel more "manly" walking around a hardware store :hyst:

 

Thanks for the heads up :headbang:

Ace also has paint brushes with nice bristles for tying, and thin clear plastic sheeting, hand brooms for bristles, etc...

see you there!

Don't forget the Polycrylic laquer (water-based head cement) by Min-Wax. It's great stuff and an 8 oz. can will last you forever!

I actually get them from the dollar store and just tear open a corner of the package at first then slowly expose more as they were out. I usually put a couple in my tying room. They are made mostly of a chemical called paradichlorobenzene. This will keep all your materials from not only moths but other bugs that are not bothered by moth balls. If you only open them as I described you dont even notice the smell.
