Sources for Epoxy Paint & SS hinges?


I am building a hood for my upstairs refusurgium/seahorse tank, and I am looking for materials.

After running a search thru the website, there are many posts from people who DIY'ed a plywood aquarium, and sealed them with epoxy paint

1) Where did you find this stuff? and what kind of $$ are we talking here?

2) Can you get it in White and Black, and is it tintable?

I am also looking for stainless steel hinges, 2 @ 2", and 2 @ 1"

Any Help out there?

peace,
koko

There are for sure other places to get epoxy paint, but I just think this is the coolest company. Order something and they will send you a catalog that you can get lost in.

Type "hinges, stainless" in their search engine and you will be overwhelmed. Do you need double-blind mortise or piano hinges?! Another megacompany with nearly anything you want.

Yep was going to say McMaster Carr as well. They stock everything and ship from warehouses all over. They used to deliver by courier the same day if you live in a big city.

In years of running operations there was never a problem with them ever and it was easy to return things.
