I spent last evening searching for some chemicals and equipment, and I was amazed at the nerve of some people and the prices they charge.
You really do need to shop around for things, and don’t assume that EBay will be cheaper than other sources. I’ve seen one guy selling glass stirring rods for nearly £3 each + postage. You can make the darn things really simply. I’ve created a quick paragraph here about how to make these if you need to; it’s fun too.
Tuffnel’s Glass stock the 6mm bosilicate glass rod you will need (see my suppliers page for details). You should be able to make a life-times stock of stirrers; or sell your surplus on EBay for a small profit with just one glass order from Tuffels.
