Was in the wholesalers yesterday and while there asked for some blue sleeving. When I bought some brown "a few" years ago they had some small packs of a few (probably 5) metres - more than enough for the few jobs I do. Nope, don't have them any more - only got packs of 100m
He did mark it down to only 20p more than they bought it in at as it was the last stock of a discontinued brand - so not exactly breaking the bank. Now, I'll be using even less blue than I do brown so 99.98m left over for now
What do others do with spare like that ? Anyone found any creative uses for it ?
Actually I won't have that much spare - probably 90m. I took a bit off the hank, gave it back so he would have some he could give out to people who only want a foot or two. OK it'll cost them sales of a low value item, but they'll gain more in time not spent explaining that it really does only come in 100m packs.
