- ScotchFlex is wonderful stuff... but the average guy can't get it. I have
- yet to find a distributor that will sell it in smaller, experimenter
- quantities...
-
- How about this: Everyone interested write a letter to DigiKey and ask
- them to carry it. They carry plenty of other 3M products... shoot, they're
- both Minnesota companies...
-
- I don't work for 3M or DigiKey... but I do live in Minnesota.
-
- Thank you for your support.
