McMaster-Carr out of NJ is where we buy a lot of misc things for fabricating things. It ships fast and we generally get it next day.
Depending on how many of these discs you need, I may be able to cnc some for you when it is slow at work. I am sure we have some laying around at work. If you get it in a rod form can you cut them off in slices and drill the centers easy enough striperman36? If you aren't in a huge rush for them send me a pm with what you would like for dimensions. Can it be polycarbonate /lexan or do you need it self-lubing?

I have one ....... I think it's a good value for wrapping. You can dry your finish using this but you have to be very careful. You apply finish and do a half turn as soon as you see a slight droop. You will probably have to do this for quite awhile and then turn once an hour after it stops drooping.
Buying a smaller motorized dryer in addition makes it alot easier
I have a motorized wrapper too but I use this more frequently because I'm not proficient with the power wrapper.

I ended up getting sheet plastic and cutting circles, then putting the O-ring on it with thick super glue |
