Talking Boro sisters and brothers, here's a fantastic deal on gunmounts!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...104629869&rd=1

Barbara Logan shared this with me and said I could pass her find on to you. This guys got gunmounts for $4 a pound. I have a lot of these and don't need any more, but thought I'd pass it on to you. It's a steal if you can use these.

SWEET! I just ordered 1lb of each color. That's a great deal.
Any thoughts on how to best use these?
I'm told that they hold their colors pretty well and melt
like buttah!

They fade out if you heat them too much, but they look great under a transparent. If you work 'em kind of hot, they'll wash out and become a light background color. If you work them cool, you can hold the pastel. They do melt like butter. I think you'll be pleased.

I got 10 pounds of that stuff. When it burns out its such a nice white with a hint of the base color. Such a smooth creamy color. Too bad the guy sold all the black and white stock.

Well I got ten pounds of the gunmounts in mixed colors. I haven't seen boro in those shades anywhere. Now I just have to see if I can swing for another bag or two of Brent's shorts still, or hope he still has then by payday next week.

I emailed him about using flat rate boxes but hadn't heard back yet....
I am really hoping he can work with me Just had a good shock when I opened the invoice!!
I guess even with shipping being $45 it is still cheap!

my invoice for shipping for 14 lbs was $22. How much do you think would fit in a flat rate box?

Brent gets 2 gallon ziplock bags of shorts (5-6 pounds each) in the flat rate boxes and they aren't full bags. There is also still plenty of room for ghost turds as packing too. I let the guy know about this form of shipping, hopefully he will use it. I can't see where the gunmounts would be that different on the volume they take up in a bag.

squid-
I can stuff about 10 pounds of glass rods (soft glass) in one flat rate, so I am hoping he will make my shipping roughly round $16....
fingers crossed....

I'm gonna ask him to throw my 10 pounds in a flat rate. Seems logical to me. They don't have any sharp edges to scratch eachother, so I'd say you could fit 15-20 pounds in a flat rate box if you didn't use packing... just double or triple bag it, so the little suckers don't sneak out the cracks. Here's hoping... but it's still a great deal with the higher shipping.

Homie says he's been flooded with orders the last two days. I wonder how many came from here?

We are definitely freaks... gotta have it!

When I first checked he had 750 lbs. and now has less than 550 lbs! I think it's all Smiley's fault.
I ordered 10 lbs. too and asked for the flat rate box when I asked for the invoice. Got the invoice yesterday and it was 15.00 for shipping. The auction says to add a 5.00 packing fee. Still a good deal!

I just bought 10 lbs as well. Heck, that is cheaper than clear, and I can always use it for a backing color if I don't like it later.
