Anyone know if you can get acrylic dowels (maybe 1/4" - 1/2" thick and 3-4" long) or rods that can be cut down....locally.....at HD, Lowes, Walmart, etc? I went to Michaels and they didn't have any.

Doubtful, Steve, unless you have a local plastics shop near you. Look up the "local" distributors for Delvies, US Plastics, etc. and maybe you'll get lucky, but I doubt you'll find anything like that at places like Michael's or the Borgs.

Yea, I figured I could get it from Delvies or McMaster......but I only need 4 3" ones......so I was hoping to find it locally.....plus I don't need 6 feet!!!

Steve
there is probably a plastics distributor in your town or nearby. They usually have odds and ends that you can buy by the pound.

Steve, what a great idea. I'm dividing the rod by the number of recipients and sticking the pieces in their stockings. Its has healing powers, yeah, that's the ticket! :D

Have you tried looking on ebay Steve? Suprisingly many sellers available on there and they deliver.

Steve, you shouldn't die over healing rods, maybe there is some quackery here.

Steve, you shouldn't die over healing rods, maybe there is some quackery here.Don't you people have spell-checkers?!? We're talking about heeling rods: they're dog-training devices.
