Surplus - with a silver lining! We have almost half a hundred rolls of 18-1/2" wide mylar film, the shiny side printed with a variety of balloon designs - happy birthday, happy retirement, happy other things - and a matte silver finish on the other (picture the two sides of aluminum foil). We'll send you a roll of 20 ft. Lots of craft-project potential. Start with a shiny birthday kite. Move onto hand-made hair scrunchies. Jim suggests wrapping yourself in it if your car stalls in the Arctic. Philip, always the adventurer, is considering a do-it-yourself dirigible.

Our aluminum canisters with clear glass pull–off lids are cool. The smallest canisters are aluminum–colored, a set of (20) 1–1/4” dia x 3/4” deep in a 6–1/2” x 5–1/4” x 7/8” lightweight aluminum box with a hinged lid. When the box is shut, a layer of foam padding inside the lid presses down on the canisters, keeping them securely closed.

They are packaged in sets of (12) and come in great assorted colors and are 2” dia x 7/8” deep. Each is an ideal carrying case for paints, many different screws, or other sets of small items or quantities that must remain separate. Prices are per set.

Microscope glassware for examination of blood, pond water, mold, and other minutiae. All of the microscope slides are optically clear glass 26mm x 76mm (about 1" x 3"), between 1mm and 1.2mm thick. The well slides, of course, have a concave well to hold a drop of liquid. Our each is a package of (12) well slides, or a box of (72) standard slides with ground or beveled edges. Cover glasses are the smaller and very thin pieces of glass used as the top of the glass slide sandwich. They are often used temporarily by simply dropping them onto a drop of liquid to flatten and spread it and to minimize evaporation. More confident microscopists will cement them in place to permanently preserve a specimen. Our each is a package of (100) cover glasses 18 mm square, #1 thickness (0.13mm to 0.17mm). If you need one, you need both.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
We hardly know where to start. What has (5) heads and (10) arms? Our bag-o-blondes! Mounted on 4-3/4" long wires, these 1-3/8" dia heads with long blond tresses and the 1" long forearms with hands make very nice small dolls. Serious crafters will appreciate the instructions that are included for making dresses for them. The less serious will realize that sticking a head and a pair of hands into the top of a cake (mid-popping out, as it were) would make those office birthdays a little more special. The twisted will just have fun with vegetables. (You'll never play with that potato-head guy again.) Our each, at a measly buck and a quarter, is enough heads and arms for (5) dolls. Or (5) cupcakes.

Glue 'em to barrettes, create a riot of ponytail holders, tack 'em on stuff, sew 'em together, take 'em apart-it's like a garment district remnant sale in a sack. Each bag holds (12) identical pieces. You get (3) different bags.
