OK, just picked up 4 cases of caulk, A&I didn't give me any discount though, They said they quoted me the price by case quantity :x Anyway, it's a great place. If you are in Chicagoland area, you can buy most of the stuff from them. They carry caulk, Roxul insulation and Neoprene. I also saw some cool cieling grids (curved, rectangle or triangle shaped) for drop ceiling or hanging drop cieling over drywall made by USG. These can be used to install diffuser cieling tiles.
Cool on your caulk experience - I just went to pick up my order for 8 cases of USG at WHITE CAP DIRECT (purchased through the website) picking up at local San Jose outlet and THEY tried to substitute the OSI stuff at the same price. I was less familiar with it and kinda thought it was cheaper, but they just said thats the deal. THEY are very unintegrated between web and outlet and felt it was ok to not let the customer know beforehand that they would be sub'ing something. I was getting it for $3.51 a 29oz. tube. I opted to not take the order. I was not familiar with the wider temp. band with the OSI - maybe I should of taken it. I am not very pleased with WHITE CAP DIRECT at all really after that. I guess I will try CalPly next week. Sucks - cause I had planned to begin work tomorrow. Maybe 3.51 is too high anyhow for caulk. Shaz what brand and what did you pay in Chicago? Best Regards, David
I bought titebond @ $4.25/ 29oz tube :shock: Kind of pricey ... $3.51 for OSI was a pretty good deal IMHO
This last case I bought was OSI. It seems to be working out just fine. I've had the chance to finally use about 2/3rds of the case. $3.51 isn't a bad price. I paid $3.25 a tube.
