braddsn Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Hey fellas.. can anyone point me to a place to get a 40 and 60 mesh screen for screening comps and chems? I usually get my screens at skylighter but they have been out of stock for awhile. Thanks! 1
Mumbles Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 There are a couple of different places. All of mine have come from McMaster-Carr. Granted these will be just the raw screen material, they still need to be assembled into functional items. There are other suppliers for the same items and you may be able to find a better price if you shop around. If you were looking for something pre-assembled, you may want to try bucketscreen.com
patsroom Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 One other place you might check out and that would b e-Bay for stainless steel screens..............Pat
TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 I would have to check, but I may have an extra set of both of those screens lying around. If I've got them I'd be happy to sell em to you
braddsn Posted January 27, 2015 Author Posted January 27, 2015 Tyrone, I am lookin to order them tonight... if you have them, I am interested. Framed??
Livingston Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Lol... I just finished putting on polyethylene coating and tomorrow I'll be putting the screen. I got mine from McMaster Carr. There super fast in Delievery. I got a 40 mesh 12x24 for $20. I laugh because we were talking about this the other night.
Mumbles Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 i buy mine at skylighter, check them out . memo Did you even read the first post of the thread? He's aware of that source, and that would be his first option if they were in stock ever.
braddsn Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Mcmaster Carr is the route I took. Thanks Mumbles. They have every option under the sun. And for what it's worth, it's great quality screen for a great price, and the shipping was lightning fast. I ordered it and it was at my house 48 hrs later. I only gave 20 bucks per 12x24 screen, and it's stainless. That's hard to beat.
memo Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Did you even read the first post of the thread? He's aware of that source, and that would be his first option if they were in stock ever. yes i did, they are in stock
memo Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 nice welcome to the forum, first post and mumbles clinbs down my throat.... maybe there are better places to be than hear memo
Mumbles Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I apologize if I hurt your feelings. If you read the thread, you will notice that he was in fact already aware of the source you mentioned saying he generally gets them there. It also becomes more clear that he was looking for pre-framed screens. If you go to Skylighter you will notice that at least one of them (40 mesh) is currently and actively out of stock.
memo Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 i think you have a vast amount of fireworking knowledge. you could use some work on your people skills. memo
wildcherryxoxo Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Hey maybe check out skylighter (I'll let myself out) Brad, McMaster is sick, if you can id recommend recessing the screen like 6 inches into the box, I seriously wish I had on all mine.
psyco_1322 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 i think you have a vast amount of fireworking knowledge. you could use some work on your people skills. memo You could use some work on your grammar.
memo Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 guess what, i have a raised middle finger for ya
eekAmouse Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Check Grainger industrial supply. Shipping is slower than McMaster but screens are about 8.50 http://m.grainger.com/mobile/search/wire-cloth/wire-cloth/raw-materials/ecatalog/N-aygZ1z0yozaZ1z0yozh/Ntt-stainless+mesh?navigatingFromPage=%2Fcategory%2Fwire-cloth%2Fwire-cloth%2Fraw-materials%2Fecatalog%2FN-ayg%2FNtt-stainless%2Bmesh%3FnavigatingFromPage%3D%252Fsearch%252Fecatalog%252FN-%252FNtt-stainless%252Bmesh%253Fsst%253Dsubset%26sst%3Dsubset%26youSearchedFor%3Dstainless%2Bmesh&sst=All&youSearchedFor=Wire+Cloth Sorry the link is for mobile
Bobosan Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Skylighter just got some more in and running a sale on UNframed screens. http://www.skylighter.com/onsale.htm
FlaMtnBkr Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) guess what, i have a raised middle finger for yaWho has the problem with people skills? Oh, and if you plan on using the screens much a 12"x24" is nice to have. You can that size from places like McMaster and Grainger for less than the 12"x12" at Skylighter even on sale. I like Harry and glad he provides the service that Skylighter does but their prices can be a bit high. Edited January 30, 2015 by FlaMtnBkr 1
Livingston Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 If your a serious hobbyist you need that 48x48 you know!! Heck I know I need that 36x60 JK!! Thanks guys!! Hey let's make sum sky art!!! 1
TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Oh man. Sorry I missed this post. You got a great deal on those screens. I do hope they are what you are looking for.
braddsn Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 No prob Tyrone! I do recommend Mcmaster-Carr to anyone needing screens. It's the fastest shipping I have ever seen... and the options are literally limitless.. as I said before. I did recess my screens about 3" into the frame, and I got 12x24". 1
Shunt Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Off topic as to where to spend your money, but I found this vid which was informative for me. This guy has some other vids that may be of use to us.
