I was on Mcmaster Carr's website to get 1/2" fiberglass rounds. I saw that they have fiberglass tubes (http://www.mcmaster.com/#fiberglass-raw-materials/=gbfl54). Does anyone know if these would be similar to bandshoppe? If not similar, would it be better to get than the solid rounds?
On a side note, I decided to pick up some of the puzzle mat from walmart. I should shave down the textured surface right? Thank you for any replies!
