Group Buy: Spectraquartz / 3M sand - SAND IS HERE!

[Elle]

I now have 1200lbs of sand sitting in my driveway. Can everyone please contact me via phone, text or PM about arranging to get your sand if I haven't already talked to you about it?

thanks!

----------------

Order has been placed! It will arrive on Friday Feb 10th in North Van. If you'd like to pick up on Friday evening or on Saturday, please let me know.

If you have missed this order and are interested in joining another group buy, I may organize another on later in the summer if there's enough interest, so please post in the thread as to what colours you would like and how many.

----------------

All right, dollar is at par, so I am going to put this order through TOMORROW (Friday). Final total is $45 USD per bag shipped directly to Canada, so I will need to collect from everyone prior to making the order.

Per bag cost for shipping to US, including pallet storage but not including my gas/time cost for traveling to the US for pickup: $42
Per bag cost for shipping to North Van: $45

It's going to be easier to ship to Canada, as the shipper is saying that they may have to charge WA taxes 9.5% if it's shipped to the US. For the $3 difference, it's easier to ship directly to North Van and skip the whole border hassle.

Anyone interested in a group buy on the SpectraQuartz sand? It used to be 3M ColorQuartz, which you can't get any more. I've been looking for the red 3M sand and not having a ton of luck, but apparently the distributor in Mulkilteo WA will deliver to BC (or it's not that far to drive, and hey! I have a truck!).

SpectraQuartz - Swimming Pool Plaster - Pool Owners

I don't yet have info on price or minimum amounts, but if anyone is interested in going in on a group buy for a few bags, I can investigate further. They have the whole colour range.

PM or post if interested with colour and amount, and I will get more details. F-Grade is equivalent to the 3M S-Grade, colours are the same.

Hi Elle, I am interested in a bag or two of the white, what size are their packaging? Thanks!

[Elle]

I'll check and post results here. The distributor is:

Industrial Coatings and Sealants, Inc
12521 Evergreen Drive, Suite B
Mukilteo, WA
(425)742-5693
Contact:
Greg Tadie epoxysales@msn.com

Based on the history, I think they are 50lb bags.

Fair warning...if this goes ahead, it will likely be in January, since I don't think I'm going to make it across the line until after the usual holiday insanity is done.

Gordon's empire building again.

Still waiting on a reply from the distributor. Last pricing I could find by searching was abut $28 USD per bag, but that may have gone up.

I'd be interested...in either Elle or Gordon finding it. Good price. I got some 3m when ibenu found it.
I'd go for a few different colours.

Elle: Empire building. I can fit all my tanks in one of yours Just kidding about the distributor as if there is any serious money into that.

I have done an epoxy for floor with a supplier in Vancouver. Their material comes from Edmonton or Seattle depending on colour. The problem being 50lbs of this and that is a bit of trouble for these guys. I can probably do a one time favour but to sustain the availability, someone has to order and inventory quantities. That has a cost, with internet, nobody seems to appreciate that any more.

April: I do have one or two contacts. Let me see what I can find out and you can be the distributor It would be nice to have a place where all the members can go to get some interesting stuff. But then everyone wants cheap and you will have to put up with inventory cost.
