    Default Boro gunmounts in 4 colors

    Hey everybody! I haven't posted on here in years, so I hope this is the proper place for this. I currently have a large stock of borosillicate gunmounts in 4 different colors (white, pink, yellow, blue). I have been selling them retail in small amounts so far and will most likely continue to do so, however, I have enough that I am looking for potential wholesale buyers as well! Ideally looking for people who are interested in 200lbs+. Right now, I just have the 4 colors, but hopefully more in the future. Feel free to shoot me an email at @Getonthepartybus@gmail.com or check my Instagram (@thenameslamar). Thanks!!!!

    Hey everyone! I'm back! Finally got these all stocked up and have all four above pictured colors for sale! Retail pricing has a minimum of 1lb order, but I can mix and match half pounds. Retail pricing includes shipping as well and is as follows: White $55 / lb shipped, Blue and Pink $60 / lb shipped, and Yellow $65 / lb shipped. Also, I do still have wholesale opportunities available. Thank you for your time and please feel free to email me with any questions at getonthepartybus@gmail.com

    These are antique colors that are no longer produced, they are cool for a number of reasons, feel free to email me if you have any questions

    Hey everyone!! Just wanted to drop in and post an update! I have now sold out completely of the yellow gunmounts, but I still have plenty of the White, Blue, and Pink available! Above, you can see some tubing that I made with the white ones, I really love the way these work! I have them available retail currently for $55/lb shipped on the white, and $60/lb shipped on the blue and pink!!! I'm also still offering wholesale pricing for large amounts if anyone is interested! The best ways to contact me are to either send me an email at Getonthepartybus@gmail.com or shoot me a dm on instagram (@thenameslamar) Thanks again, and I hope you all have a great day!

    in short, they were used inside older tv sets, they were part of the mount/insulators for the cathode ray "gun".

    Hey, as far as the saturation issue goes, in tubing, I think its pretty great, but stringers can tend to fade into a more satiny soft white look, especially when deep encased. As far as trade goes, unfortunately, I can't offer that right now, but shoot me a message, and we can talk about possible future arrangements

    Just wanted to remind everyone, I still have plenty of the white, blue, and pink gunmounts available. Also, I figured I'd include this picture of a piece I made using the white (coilpotted and encased in clear). Thanks for checking it out!

    Has there been interest from any of the major color manufacturers? I believe these were an essential ingredient for the satin lines
