In Response To: FMS ? (caliph23)

I had 20lbs of glass + two boxes of electrodes shipped to me from FMS the other month. Great packaging and turnaround time. $33 s/h -- the electrodes and the glass shipped separate.

I'm in Detroit, so it might be slightly more down to Atlanta.

I haven't used a ton of the electrodes, but I haven't had any problems with them.

EGL is selling direct, too, although I haven't tried to order anything from them since last summer/fall. It looks like they're mostly selling colored glass and discontinued/off-spec colored glass. And Tecnolux is allegedly soon to be selling direct.
