Thread: Any Other Canadian Shavers Here Would Like To Find Micro-Fasteners and Brass Rod

Ive gotten a lot of my micro fasteners from hobby shops that carry the train sets and rc stuff.

Thank you! I never thought of that. I have already placed an order with Micro Fasteners but I need some brass rod for peening. I will check out the local hobby shops.
Kindly

Ken's Gems in Calgary is a great sour for rod and many other little things.

Here is greaseless compound from Caswell in Canada.

Greaseless - Caswell Canada

Thanks guys for the great information. I wish I had found that before I ordered from the States but I will know for next time.

Anyone find a Canadian seller who offers brass rod and fasteners here online? We don't have a Hobby shop here in Yorkton and I don't know when I'll be making to a city that has one.
I could always go the eBay route, but they seem to have inflated their prices a tad. Or is brass rod a little pricey?

Can anyone tell me if there is a supplier in Canada for horn?
I have various hard woods and deer antler.
Thank you in advance.

I wish we had a supply or vendor list that showed vendors who catered to Canada or was located in Canada. Ordering stuff more time than naught from US is a pain sometimes when dealing with duties or inflated postage rates. Not that shipping in Canada is a lot cheaper, but no custom brokerage charges.

It would seem that the Caswell in the States offers more greaseless options than the Canadian Site:

Standard Buffing Compounds - Polishing - Caswell Inc

I've played with their polishing compounds and I find that they leave a film that's hard to remove but maybe it's just me

Who else has greaseless compounds?
And ships to Canada or is in Canada?
