ABS Pipe availability

In the Washington DC area this stuff is pretty much no longer available as it has been taken off the market. Apparently it develops cracks and well this is not such a desired trait to have in a sewer pipe. :o

Much to my surprise last weekend when in Uniontown PA (just west of OhioPyle), I found the local Lowes and Home Depot fully stocked with the stuff.


So if you need some for a canoe repair and find yourself like the DC area - get it while the gettins good. If you want I will be willing to grab some and hold it for you, as I am working on some renovations up there most weekends these days. Just let me know and we can work out a way to transport via the C network.

You can also get it in sheets from plastics suppliers. I get mine at SABIC Polymer Shapes (formerly GE Polymer Shapes) - dealer list here :

I like sheets because you can use it in patches or dissolve it for paste. You can also get black or white, mix the two for a grey. Haven't tried pigmenting it yet...
