[ukracer]

Do we not call them acid brushes in the UK the only decent sized ones I can find are these.

Try you local model shop - brushes for doping etc.

 

[ukracer]

You can get them in the UK, but they'll be way more than they are in the US...

You can a gross shipped over for less than you'd pay for a couple of dozen 'locally'.

Dont suppose you have a link at all??

£1.73 for 5 isn't outrageous, they are silverline but I've bought some and fine so far.

 

[grim_d]

No, no link.

I searched on ebay, found the cheapest couple of suppliers in the states and contacted them - got it down to about £18/gross delivered.

One day, I'll actually order some

Plus the random customs and handling charge? Might not save that much, about £8 just for handling last time I had something from the states. I suppose if you bought 5 Gross it might save a good bit but not even tubalcain has 720 of them at once.

£5.20 for 20 is better than my above link.

So it has, my mistake, I must have got the last few.

 

[Windy Miller]

So if I was to get a few gross sent over would anyone be interested in smaller amounts?

(Mods, to make no profit )

Yeah I'll have one of you!

Or 20 perhaps?

 

[Seadog]

The £5-20 for twenty listing is still there, I've just bought some.

Yep.

 

[ukracer]

I shall look into it again then.

If it makes it cheaper for me, and cheaper for some others it's probably worth a shot.

Reckon @doubleboost will have some to go with his new anti spill pot...

 

[grim_d]

That's why I bought some, making 3 tubalcain anti-spill pots. Just need to scrounge the copper pipe.

 

[Welderpaul]

Every welding supplier we have ever used sell acid brushes. Bought a box of them for 50p each.

 

[Welderpaul]

50p per box or per brush?

Per brush

 

[mr migwire]

50p per box or per brush?

was wondering that too??? ive bought 5 from ebay for a couple of quid as i wont be using them overly much so 5 will do.

 

[grim_d]

Everything is cheaper over there. To be honest I think I would like to live there, somewhere southern like texas. Cheap tools and constant bbq action. (bbq not grilling!)
