I was looking at the US Composites site and their prices are the closest I found to Mertons.

I called Mertons and got Joe Merton. I faxed him a list of what I wanted, called him back and paid. He seemed like a nice enough guy. He was busy so we didn’t do much chatting.

I ordered some 9oz cloth tape, 1708 in 6” and 50” widths, some cab-o-sil, and a few miscellaneous items. I thought it nice that he asked if he could fold the cloth. He said it would all go in one box if he did and that shipping would be less.

I’ll report back with the results when the package arrives.

I asked if anyone had experience with him, or another good company. Are there any sources that I should stay away from?

Also, I used to get supplies locally from PolyGard. They sold Hi Bond products. They weren’t the cheapest in the world, but their prices were reasonable and they were close. Unfortunately, they became a casualty of the current economy.

Now I’m looking at ordering a lot more stuff than I have in the past. Is it an issue to have things like epoxy and vinyl ester resins and hardeners shipped?
