    Default glass tubes and rods in the bay area?

    hey, im not sure if im posting this in the right place, but i wasnt sure. anyways, i need to buy some clear glass tubing and rods, and some color. I dont need to buy very much, I maybe have about $300 to spend. Im wondering if there is somewhere in the bay area that i can walk into and buy glass. hopefully somewhere with a good selection of different sizes of tube and rod and color. I know there has to be somewhere that does this, but im not sure because i just moved back here. I figure it will be more expensive this way, but because im not spending very much, the shipping charges wouldnt be worth it. please let me know, im trying to do this within the next week or so. thanks

    How about revere? In Berkley. I just got ten pounds of there color tube, shit rocks. They have gotten a lot better, no bubbles, no cracking, and nice crisp colors.

    American Labs is the place to go to. They have TONS of glass, like 2 warehouses full. And great prices, you can also talk to Mark, Dons son. I bought glass from there for a decade before I moved up here to Oregon.
