Materials Purchasing List: When an item's "Where to Purchase" is listed as "General" it means that most Grocery Stores, Hardware Stores, etc., should carry the item. We suggest always calling first, before making the trip down to get them. If we purchased an item online, we will include the address for you.
Note: We are not promoting these sites, and there are other companies that sell the same products. These are just some resources to help you acquire the materials that you need, and happen to be the sites where we purchased our materials for the EA Training 2006.
