Rubber stoppers,anyone have a good source?

[chris fresh]

Like the title say's,i'm looking for rubber stoppers in different sizes,large,small and also tapered.(Example) i've seen guy's using small tapered ones to plug spoke holes in rims to keep powder coat out of them,i'm looking for similar stuff.I need assorted sizes (diameter),don't care about length.They are going to be used for plugging things getting sand blasted,or bead blasted in the cabinet.A lot of times you need to protect machine surfaces for pivot pins and such but the surrounding needs to be blasted and painted.

i've seen the stuff on ebay and was wondering if anyone had any input?

I would like to buy in volume,50 or 100 packs,different sizes and tapers.Also i'm going to look through master carr and a couple of other catalogs i have.thanks for any input on this.

Lowes in Washington has them in the screw section. Maybe GA will have them as well. I don't know if they carry the volume your looking for. Good luck.

Widget Co, which has the weirdest product mix around. I've purchased shelf pins and bar stoppers from them.

I use the same silicone plugs that i use for powder coating for exactly what your doing. Check out powderbuythepound.com and powder365.com they both sell them in an assortment case and specific sizes buy the pack not sure how many to a pack.

Ebay is the way to go here.If you search silicone plug kit,it has exactly what i need for the money i want.The powder coating places get 60 bucks and ebay has nicer,bigger kits for 12 to 20 bucks.Going to order a couple of different ones including a cap kit.

All the Ace hardware stores around me have a great selection.

Homebrew supply shops. (Northern Brewer, etc.) sell all kinds of stoppers in all the sizes. They are really cheap.

it's a Canadian company I don't have my price book right here but they are in the neighborhood of $0.23 each (bulk) they do ship internationally I think

You may want to check out a manufacturer called Caplugs. As far as I know, they are the largest and/or most well known maker of all types of caps and plugs.

Alliance makes masking plugs. Chemistry laboratory suppliers would also be an alternative source.

For bulk, you might want to try aliexpress.com.
