| Can't find any in our area! I only have about a quart now and I'm SO anxious to get some projects made before winter. One place will order it for me, $5 for 8 quarts, seems expensive! Does anyone know a good cheap online source? |

| Call your local construction company suppliers or a swimming pool building contractor. Ask where you can get get ZONOLITE vermiculite. It is very cheap and available almost everywhere. A 4 cubic foot bag is less than $15. |

| Um, wasn't Zonolite the insulation that was on a W5 program about the asbestos that was contained in it???? Be careful what you buy! Marly |

| Home building stores like HD and Menard's sell it in huge bags for attic insulation , for about $8 , found in the insulation dept of the store. Plus you could follow one of those roundy-spinning concrete trucks. Some of them use vermiculite and/or perlite also. I get mine thru a friend that has a nursery. |

| Thanks everybody for the input! We're about 100 miles from any big stores or nurseries, but I'll keep hunting. |

| If you find ZONOLITE just make sure the bag isn't over 15 years old.:) |
