Rubber Stoppers

[Craftdiggity]

Hey, Gang.

I'm looking for some rubber stoppers for plugging the ends of pen tubes during casting. Anyone know where I can go to get them? Also, what sizes should I buy?
Thanks for the help.

Not to highjack the thread, but what size stopper works best with most of our tubes?

Thank you.

No results. I can find stoppers, but I'm not seeing ones that are small enough.

I get mine at Ace Hardware. They have the rubber or the cork. Try Ebay too.

Slimlines tubes take #00. The Sierras take #000. Don't know about the other size tubes.

I'd also try american science & surplus: http://www.sciplus.com/

If they have what you need, it should be a good price.

Chris,
Just tossing this out..
I started using erasures. The big pink ones like we used when we were kids work great and are relatively inexpensive. I use the tube to "carve" out the size I need. They are firm enough to do the job and flexible enough to get out when the time comes. Maybe not the most scientific method but it works for me.
Cheers
Bob

http://www.widgetco.com I just ordered some from here. There .49 each and have tons on sizes. They give you both the small and large end sizes in the descriptions. Had them in less than a week. There out of Houston and I live in Texas. These are rubber stoppers
