Default Where do you buy your silver foil?

I tried to look at the moretti and more website but that site won't load for me.
I tried it on 2 different browsers and two different computers.

Frantz is telling me they don't carry it?

Is there anywhere else that carries it along with glass and other lampworking supplies. I like to buy all my stuff from one place. I don't like buying some of this here and some of that there.

Thanks,

Debra

For silver foil I buy from Rio Grande-I get all my findings from them usually and their prices are good.

Thank you Jules, but there are no books of 25 sheets of silver foil there.
They're telling me they don't carry it even though I've been buying it there for over 3 years.......

Ooops, nevermind. I just heard back Frantz as I typed and they do have it and are going to add it to the website. I was really starting to panic there.

I will check out Rio Grande though. I didn't know they had silver foil and I have an account with them. Thanks Nina!

I think I've heard of waleapparatus. I'll have a peek at their site. Thanks Ali.

As for Arrowsprings, I would order from them if I could order on the website.
But I hate talking on the phone that much!....LOL

I've always been pleased by the silver foil that Val Cox offers:

http://www.valcoxfrit.com/index.asp?...TS&Category=10

and

JameyLynn at Howaco Glass is a favorite also:

Frantz has added it back to their website - they do carry it - they just forgot to list it.

No, but have you looked at the prices? Her glass is always discounted at a remarkably low rate no matter how much you buy. The prices are great already!

I get mine at howaco. The prices and quality are good. Yes, I believe she gives discounts on glass. It's been a while since I've purchased, though.

Howaco no longer has quantity discounts for glass. When she re-opened the store she dropped glass prices so that you get a great deal even if you only buy one rod! Compare her prices with the quantity discounts at other places. Her prices are great!

Sepp Leaf in NYC. You have to buy a box minimum, though - and their shipping is phenomenally quick.

When I tried Sepp Leaf they said they only sell to distributors and wouldn't even give me pricing information.
