In Response To: Re: FMS ? (caliph23)

I use EGL for some glass, especially if they have it on their site @ $50.00 a box, but most of my glass has been FMS for the past 2 years as I cannot even get ANY distibutor to deliver to me and the closest they will come is a 1.5 hr drive one way. I have been very happy with FMS, great tuen around and great glass.....As for trodes, only from SVP...he's got the best at the best price, wish Mark sold glass too.....

As for the price if you factor the shipping into the price per pound, they are STILL cheaper than NGlantz........
