    Looking for local source for Shock Cord

    I know I can get 1/8 Shock cord from Dutch and others, but I need it tomorrow. I have looked in Lowes and Homedepot, the people there look at me like I am an alien, when I ask for shock cord, or long thing bungee cord.

    Anyone have any ideas where I could look locally, what type of shop?

    Thanks

    Cheap cargo net at motorcycle shop & untie all the knots will give you quick shock cord.

    Shock cord

    REI has shock cord and sells it by the foot, I just remember it being a bit thick, but maybe 1/8".

    Jo-Anne Fabric carries it. Expect to pay more than sourcing it online.

    Harbor Freight. Buy their cheap cargo net, untie knots, and you have a bunch of shock cord.

    I have looked at Jo Anns, but the people there are useless. Guess I am going to have to walk all the isles myself.

    I usually can't do this, because the wife sends me with the twins. I think it's on purpose, to make me get in and out faster.

    Ace Hardware carries it in our locale...but, again, you pay more for the convenience.

    Another possibility (if there is one near you) is West or Redden Marine type of store.
