Keltech is way overpriced. I think they buy from PSI around the corner on Center St. You can buy from PSI retail, they are next door to the humane society. They have a big scrap room for small pieces and dont take advanage of you with cut charges. They carry the better cast along with the cheap extruded which is fine for internal overflows and thing like that.

I was wondering if PSI moved or went out of business Don... I was taking my wife to an appointment on Cedar st. the other day and it looked like they weren't in that warehouse by the humane society anymore. I hope I'm wrong... But I didn't see the big "PLASTIC SUPPLY" sign that used to be on the end of the building.

Nevermind... I did a little search and found this. I hope this doesn't screw up what a great retail store they were. Their website doesn't list a location in Washington yet.

Phew,thats a releaf... These folks are great. Last time I needed a specific piece of scrap that I couldn't find in the retail area. The employee took me into the warehouse and tracked down exactly what I needed. They have everything you need for plastic construction.
