Black Egg Crate

[inverted]

Does anyone local sell black egg crate? I've found a few places on-line, but I don't have enough to order from them to justify shipping. All I can find locally is the white stuff though.

Thanks Don; that's an awesome offer! I actually need probably 2 or 3 24x24" pieces though. I saw it at BRS, I guess I could go that way if I can't find it local. I hate spending almost as much on shipping as the product though LOL. Maybe I'll have to add some GFO or something

Yeah, I know if I go 3 it makes more sense. I may go that route. Of course it would be nice to find a local supplier.

Thanks gonorth16, I'll have to look them up. A bit pricier than BRS though, assuming 2x4' though.

Could you not paint the white pieces to be black with safe paint?

I thought I saw black or grey at Home Depot last week when I was in there. There is an electrical supply place in Somerville, but I cannot think of the name a the moment.

You can find it at eletrical supply housed just have them order in if they dont have it stock.

I don't think I would personally trust anything other than epoxy paint and that's pretty expensive. Also, probably wouldn't come out as good anyways.

 

[B4tney]

Lol oh ok what are examples.

I'm using it for frag racks in a frag tank.

Thanks Flame Angel and sizzle. I'll look into the Electrical Supply House in Somerville? Didn't see any at my local HD.

Must only be certain HD as I know I saw it at the one in Seabrook, NH. I have this thing that if someone is looking for something and I happen to see it I take it in mentally as if I am their personal shopper. I have seen this topic come up a couple of times on the forum, so when I was waking past it I took a mental snap shot. I was mistaken though it was silver in color, but it looked smoked or blackish.
