Doing a job for another "sign" company. They have quoted the job for reflective glass beads to be applied to the wet paint. I did this about a hundred years ago. Does anyone know where I can buy some? (glass beads) Thanks Tom

Dear Tom and Kathy, Some years ago, on a visit to Florida, I purchased a quantity of the real reflective beads in, or near Ft. Lauderdale at a supermarket type of sign supply store called "Pearl Supply Company", or a similar name with Pearl as the title, try there
Take care, regards John

I have a 5 gallon pail of them you can have for the shipping fee. approx $25. I got them for a failed experiment. The beads had cost $25 plus $27 for shipping from Somay Products 4301 NW 35th Ave Miami Florida 33142
