Need source for Alpha Abrasives

[Len Woodruff]

Greg had an article about Alpha Abrasives in the latest Model Cars Mag. Anybody know of a location to buy these products?

[Tony T]

My local LHS has those now, and I haven't bought any to try. I hear good things about them. Other than directly, I can't help otherwise.

[Len Woodruff]

Unfortunately they don't sell direct. Where is your hobby shop?

It says on the contact page they ship internationally.

The hobby shop I go to is in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It's called "The Hobby Centre". They have a website, www.hobcen.com and I know they do sell on eBay, so they do ship. Send them an email and tell 'em Tony directed you. (Might not help!) These have been selling well, so their stock may be limited.

Thanks Tony. That page also says this:

We do not have a showroom and have no facilities to sell to the public.

[Tony T]

Ooop...sorry I missed that part!! Hopefully the Hobby Centre can help you get some. It shouldn't get complicated, but if it does, let me know, and I'll take a trip in and see what they have. If I need to buy it and you pay me back, I'm willing, but they should be able to help you.

[Len Woodruff]

Thanks Tony. I have left an e-mail for Alpha and they should get back to me Monday.

I also really liked the look of their products and would be nice if they at least had a "where to buy" link. They defiantly need an internet store somewhere as many of us don't have a hobby store close by either.

What's the deal with Alpha Abrasives? My LHS didn't have issue #149 when I went there last week so I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
