Make it yourself HI currently I’m not teaching you anything at this moment, but I will let you in on where I buy my supplies. In 40 years, businesses have come and gone but with that said here is a list of some of my favorite places. Prices are pretty much the same competition being what it is shipping is the grey area it will usually leave the store in 24 to 48 hours then it’s up to UPS
