    Default colored scalloped boro tubing?

    does any one know where to get some? i got some cobalt a while back and it made some killer ornaments, i'd like to find any other colors available. red and green mostly...

    i know ust had blue and green.

    That green is terrible though. Even if you blow it into an ornament it will crack a few days later. The people selling it won't reccomend you buy it.

    The blue is the bomb though.

    We have some green left from old stock.. No one ever complained to me yet about this case of it.

    Pegasus has some red ion (sp.?) scalloped tubing, but you'd have to get a case.

    have cups made of green 4 years old still good no blow up

    i got a few cases of cobalt a couple of months back from UST

    after the split i saw they were offing all of it cheap, don't know where it went, and i don't know if its available. I would check out the supply house's if i needed a case.

    good luck, yer right too the cobalt looks bomb

    i guess im wrong on the green. good luck with it. I swear one time I talked to someone at UST within the last year and they said don't buy it.

    Last time I got cobalt profile from UST, they were pretty much giving it away. It was .50 a lb, came out to something like 20 bucks for a case of 44. Maybe they are planning on discontinuing it?
