Re: Sources for steel balls and plastic balls

I'm looking for some balls to use as auxilliary media in my barrel plating process.  I need 3/16" and 1/4" balls made in mild steel and plastic.  the plastic must withstand 160F, hydrochloric acid, chromic acid, and must sink in water.  Does anybody know of a source for either of these balls?

Dustin,
In the past, I have purchased steel and ceramic media for a similar application from Delong Equipment in Atlanta, GA. They may have the plastic type that you need as well. Their phone numbers are 404-607-1234, 800-548-8233 (toll free).
