I've been making a lot of weapons lately (bored). For the life of me I can't find 5/8" wall pipe insulation.
I live in Kent near Renton. I have tried every major hardware store in the area to find dumbfounded faces and a "those don't exist," when I request special order.
Anybody know a reliable source in the area? I can drive anywhere in King County if need be. Closer is better.
I tried the interwebs and it has failed me. A website to special order would also be appreciated. If anyone has a surplus I would buy from them too at a reasonable price.
Thanks in advance.
 
Basically, assume you can't get it on the west coast. No one out here uses it.
Instead, get 3/4" wall insulation. It's perfectly legal (since it's 1/8" too thick) and doesn't really change anything about the construction.
You can get 3/4" wall pipe insulation at Mclendon's hardware, a location of which I'm sure is in the area you specified.

Only place I know of in the Seattle metro area is a store on Broadway in downtown Everett, between Hewitt and Pacific.
 
Tried Mclendon's in Kent and found the 3/4" wall to be sufficient. Works way better than the layering method I was using. Open cell foam can be bought in hug sheets for cheap at Fred Meyer near the hardware or packaging sections. Just wanted to throw that out there since it took me a while to find it cheap.
