     Mr. Patterson,
     
     While this is not a direct answer to your request for info, you (and 
     hopefully, other RADSAFE folks) may find it useful:
     
     I tried a search using "GTE Super Pages" on the internet.  With the 
     category set to 'Plastics' and the State set to 'CA' I got 5949 hits 
     in 71 categories.  When I set the State set to 'NH' I got 338 hits in 
     32 categories.  I'm sure a selective search would yield something more 
     workable.  I didn't try to narrow the search for you because I assume 
     you'd like to find a local supplier and I don't exactly where in the 
     603 area code you are. 
     
     I've used this method often to find local providers of just about 
     anything I want.  Once you select a particular listing, just click on 
     it and it will draw you a map and give you detailed instructions on 
     how to get there from where ever you are (as long as you're within 
     1000 miles of the place.)  If you haven't used GTE Super Pages before, 
     you can find them at:
