Hey guys, where can I find Acrylic rods and Green stuff in a store? I went to Michaels arts and crafts store in New York and asked about Acrylic rods. They had no idea what I was talking about, so I didn't bother to ask about green stuff.  These are the last two things I need so I can start working on my customs.

Cool beans, thanks guys. Another question, has anyone bought them from a store though? Like Hobby Lobby or another store like that? Just curious, I can get them online if I have to. But it may be quicker trying a store. Won't have to wait for shipping.  The first one I'm working on is a Jedi and I can't wait to get started.  Thanks again guys. @jak, Hey bud, the two custom's you sent me, were those the Acrylic rods? Just curious. Sounds like getting the clear ones and doing the sharpie thing is the way to go. Look's like just getting the clear ones is cheaper too.
