G10 Tubing?

Anyone know a good (online) source for G-10 tubing?

Some of the places I see require a minimum 6 foot length which is WAY more than I need. 3 foot length is more reasonable. I need two sizes. It would be great if they deal metric sizes, but I can deal with imperial.

thanks

Check your local plastics supply businesses in your local yellow pages. Many plastics retailers sell G-10 tubing. They may have odd lengths available and/or could give you what you need for a small cutting fee. Also check local boat builders in your area (Pac Northwest) who use G-10 tubing from time to time. They may have some scrap that they would be willing to let you have.
