  • 1.  Would you like to go in on a roll of Solar Viewing Film with me:

    Posted 01-21-2024 09:28

    I am still looking for a way to get about 25 feet of film (12 inches wide). The only place I can find to get it from is now also out of the 100ft, and only has 250ft for about $1080. I am wondering if 2, 3, or 4 others would like to go in on it with me. You can reach me by responding here or at kelli@wonderlab.org

    I'm in the exact same boat and have been running into the same issue. I only need around 25 feet of the 12-inch-wide film, but everything available seems to be either completely out of stock or only offered in those huge 250ft rolls at a price that's hard to justify for a small need. It's been pretty frustrating trying to source a reasonable quantity. This situation honestly reminds me of working with a dropshipping agent fast delivery shopify 3pl setup sometimes suppliers are only optimized for bulk handling, not smaller, flexible quantities that independent sellers or small buyers actually need. I'd definitely be interested in the idea of splitting a larger roll with others if that's an option. Hopefully a few more people who need smaller amounts see this thread so we can coordinate and make it workable for everyone. This situation honestly reminds me of using a cold day calculator you might only need to check the temperature for one specific morning, but most tools are built to analyze entire seasonal datasets instead of giving you a simple, precise answer for a single day.
