Local Starphire Supplier

Who sells cut sheets of starphire locally. I know glasscages, but anyone else?

GC is the only one i know of that readily has it on hand....sure others could order it, but in looking at regular glass prices for other projects in the past, they had the lowest prices i found, so i can only assume they would be the best price on starfire as well. it's all about unit price when getting in quantity & i doubt there are many local places that use as much of it as they do

recently, i have gotten a few small pieces for baffles etc from Glass Contractors of TN in lavergne since they are close to me. not as cheap as GC, but also not a 50 mile drive each way LOL

their # is (615) 793-6884 & are right off m'boro rd on old nashville hwy

I am hoping to find some one who will be able to bevel the edges also. I know GC is probabbly going to be the cheapest, but I know they won't bevel anything. I can DIY polish them, but have never beveled glass before. I have heard that you can use a belt sander to do it. I will have to call the one u listed and see.

the one i listed above does custome mirrors & such. they have a very nice beveling machine. i had to get a piece i had cut down to fit in a tank frame & they cut it to the dimension i needed. it apparantly didn't snap perfectly square, so 1 end wouldn't fit in the frame (barely) so he ran it through the beveling machine. by the time we got it fit, the edge looked like a soluna or elos tank beveled edge

so maybe get you glass w/ unfinished edges from GC & then get them to polish/bevel the edges....that is if they can't get the starfire

Cool. I will see it that will work.

Trust me... no one else around here will come even near to GC's prices. Just go ahead and get it through them.
