LOC stopped carrying their phenolic line. Anyone know of another source?

Check Giant Leap Rocketry’s website. I know they carry phenolic tubes.

The largest GL carries I think is 4"

Nm, no 5.5" sorry

T'would be nice if PML added 5.5" tubing to their phenolic line.

why would you want phenolic?

My preference for liners/casting tubes for 6" x .188" wall hardware.

5.5" is one of the few blue tube sizes that is available. Not phenolic but if it helps...

Jason, at LOC, says he has some 5.5" coupler phenolic in inventory; 44" lengths. I didn't ask about body tube. I use the coupler tubing for sleeving my body tubes.

Jason told me yesterday that stock was depleted.

Maybe he thought you were asking about body tube, while I was asking for coupler. Jason has always been spot-on with my component requests.

I always thought it was vulcanized phenolic, but the about page claims it's not. At any rate, it works like phenolic, so likely a good substitute.
