Small plastic spools

[losikid]

I'm trying to find a good source of small plastic spools...basically i want those little 1-2 oz solder spools (like the small radio shack solder spools). But empty, no solder.

Anybody have an idea where I can find a good source for them?

Closest thing I found was bobbins for sewing machines, but those are too small.

Maybe the spools from Teflon tape would work?

Are you just having a hard time finding them in the US or in general? Seems there are lots of options available but all from overseas.

In general, qty of 100 or so...

I used to purchase some from mossberg industries. They manufacture tons of different sizes and styles, it may be worth a call or email to them. I know they have more sizes than what their webpage shows but I'd say if they do not make them small enough they would know where to refer you.

Just come to my house. Any time I need teflon tape the damned spool is empty. It wouldn't take long to get that 100 if I start doing plumbing work. :lol:

Yea, all those are way too big, looking for like a 2" flange, 5/8" wide

All I can think of is why?

China imports are probably gonna be your best and cheapest option. Little bit of a shipping wait though. My friend owns a sewing shop and she orders from this place. Usually 7-10 day wait on the cheap shipping.

Do they have to be plastic?

Made in the USA, and you can pick your width:

THis is a great place for packaging and stuff, I've bought from them before and they are quality product and service...dunno if they have what you're looking for though.
