Do they have to be balls? What are you using them for exactly? Just that I know a place that does cheap bottle corks at about a pound a bag!

Been using loads for various bits and pieces.

I did come across a company about a month ago that actually manufactured them. Think they were in Yorkshire somewhere, and the minimum order was not stupid.

If I get five I'll try and find the details...

Ian,

Have they got to be 12mm?

Just so I know what I'm looking for.

I roll my popups in 16mm so really 12mm is perfect. 14mm to big and 10mm to small !!Thanks for your interest and help.
