Julie, I would call a local welder and see where there is a welding supply near
you to find where they get there supplys .Strickland Welding in Wimberly is one
I found on Google.512 8473119, if there is a supply house near , they can
answer any questions you have

Thanks Mike. I have called a few Home Depots and Lowes and I keep getting no as

makes me so mad that they misrepresented their service. A warning should have
been given to call days ahead to find out delivery schedule and to request the
size you need.
