Does someone on the left sell ball bearings for an epoxy mixer. I need 9/16th in. to 3/4 in. I think. Two 1/2 in. ball bearings went round instead of blending the epoxy. Thanks. Ralph

If at first you don't succeed, go fishing, then try, try again.

You might find some old bearings at an electric motor repair shop. Get the old bearing, knock it apart, clean the ball/s and you're set.

Ralph; try here [www.smallparts.com]

I knew I saw them somewhere

Lowe's sells individual steel balls in a variety of sizes, fairly cheap as I recall.

The steel balls, the ones that are about 1/4" in diameter, that are sold as ammunition for sling shots and available at almost any discount store and are very cheap have worked well for me.

Golden Witch has 1/4" & 1/2" by the 100.....[www.goldenwitch.com]

I have used this company to upgrade the bearings in my reels. They also have single bearings in many many sizes.

I just visited their site and noticed that they have many of the bearing kits for ree;s on sale

Thank you all. Ralph

My local Ace Hardware store has them in many sizes in the section with little springs, rubber rings and other small items. I like the 1/2" size. Smaller ones don't have the mass to mix well.

most any auto repair shop or tire shop that changes cv joints should have a few laying around.i used to save all tho ones out of the bad cv joints for my kids and sling shots.

a 5/8 or 3/4 oz lead head jig. cut off the eye and hook. works fine for me.

How about using lead balls for muzzleloading? They com in various sizes? The slingshot ammo I saw actually had flat spots on it.

Plastic cup and a popsicle stick works for me Doooooo

Bill,
You have an older model of the mixer which does not require electric power or batteries.

Yep it don't use electricity.
