dagabu Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 GOOD GOD!! It has doubled in the past year! I paid $20.00 each bag last spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackthumb Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have a 50# sample coming this weekend....if pure, I may be able to supply at about $60 - 65 with shipping..... Also, about to fire up the shop and turn out several more large octahon hardwood ball mill containers...have used my larger one for over thirty years and still no real wear. Will see what time is invested and maybe I can offer a few to my fellow thumb burners....Fired a nice comet w/report last nite from a 1" x 6" tube....just had to smell some smoke...

Updup Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Unless your just paying more for shipping, I still get $65 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Its the shipping calculator, you are closer so you get a better rate. The actual KNO3 changed from $20.00 a bag a year ago to $40.00 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackthumb Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 It would cost me a new sewing machine, 5 dresses and a trip to Vegas if my wife saw a dump truck full of white powder pull into my 'workspace'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peret Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 It would cost me a new sewing machine, 5 dresses and a trip to Vegas if my wife saw a dump truck full of white powder fertilizer for the lawn and garden pull into my 'workspace'.Sounds worth it to me. My wife would go out and get 5 dresses whether I buy any chemicals or not. For the trip to Vegas, throw a bag in the truck for me and I'll fix you up with a free hotel room.
