I've seen several UK sites mentioned in other threads, but I don't recall many US suppliers. I was trying to find a supplier for molding supplies and HDPE/ABS sheets to experiment with and I found this at TAP Plastics.

[www.tapplastics.com];

Does anyone know of any other suppliers in the US or have experience with TAP products (quality, service, etc.)?

I've found a site that is pretty cheap. (seemed to be down now but it was working earlier today).
[www.usplastic.com]

1/8" Black ABS Welding Rod
$12.13 per 1lb
1/8" White ABS Welding Rod
$14.26 per 1lb
You get discounts for ordering in quantities.

What do you think about this?

The wiki should have this information available. If it doesn't, please ping Zach or Forrest about it, and post a link in this forum to that wiki page.
