i'm going to use it to hold art prints, so they can be stored flat under my bed with some protection. my largest print is 40" x 34", so it would probably have to be at least a 65" tv box.

call any bicycle shop for their bicycle frame boxes, much bigger than what you need and they are happy to give them away.

was hoping there's a supermarket or something across town...the dairy farm itself isnt exactly along my way to anything and seems foolish to just drive there just for a jug of milk

Hondaracer 12-10-2020 07:38 PM

I’ve boughten it fairly frequently at a few different places and I can’t say I’ve ever seen the 4L locally

Is it also glass?

Sw0op 12-10-2020 08:31 PM

Nope it’s a regular plastic jug so no $1.25 deposit like those glass jars

Spud has it but I don’t order anything from them

errr their office is at Burnaby...not really a farm farm.

7985 N Fraser Way, Burnaby, BC V5J 0A4

They have a retail store there BUT covid and stuff, you have to call them and check, you used to be able to go in and out.

StylinRed 12-11-2020 10:59 PM

I think I've seen that at pomme in coquitlam, but I can't be certain, next time I go ill have a look

Dollarama has Ringolos as a regularly stocked item. Specific size of 190 g for $2.00. Logo with price is directly printed on the bag.

in-store? online only shows adhesive spray which is quite different than the promoter

Where can I get some authentic designer sunglasses at a good price locally or online?

SpeedStars 12-22-2020 12:48 AM

I used this site https://www.smartbuyglasses.ca/ before and it appears they have a wholesale agreement with Luxxotica which explains the pricing.

looking for some plastic sheeting. using it for craft projects as stiff backing.
think something like those thin plastic cutting boards, or a thin clear binder cover.
what could maybe substitute for something like that?

Are corrugated plastic sheets too flimsy? Readily available at HD in 4x8' sheets

MG1 12-28-2020 10:00 AM

I get mine from Grimco. They come in all kinds of thickness, strength, UV resistance, colours, etc. Grimco is a graphics supply business, so they have all kinds of substrates that are used for signs. That's if you need more than just one sheet.

i've thought about it too but they would bend more easily in a certain orientation and i dont want it to bend along a line..
also i want it to be flexible in all directions.
