buying acrylic tube

PatrickMonahan99 · May 3, 2015

Recently I have been trying to find some colored acrylic tube. All of the websites I have visited wanted $25 and more for just one foot of tubing. Does anyone know where I can find acrylic tube for around $6 per foot ?, Thanks

The attachment is the price list

This is clear and colorless.
They may have colors available:

I might boil a sample in RIT dye for an hour and see how deep the color gets.

RITT dye isn't UV-safe, so keep that in mind if you need it to be colorfast. You also don't list quantity, which will have a huge effect on price.
