Anyone have some they want to get rid of or know where I can find them? Happy to buy or trade.

Try a search for plastic insulation rivets, plastic automotive rivets, plastic fender liner rivets, plastic push rivets, plastic thumb tacks. Couldn't find a plastic thumb tack w/o a metal pin so not sure if dog feet would collect them when stepped on. But a plethora of possibilities in plastic rivet searches.

A similar discussion was going on over at the double gun site a couple of weeks ago where I posted the following:

“Called them recently. Still the same voice message that ends with “We’ll be happy to call you back as soon as possible.” After Jay sold the company he stayed on for a period of time in a consultant role. His departure seems to have coincided with the COVID arrival and all went silent in Roberta (except the voicemail.)”

Let’s hope the lights come back on.

Yeah, I was hoping above hope, but I see the website was last updated 2020.

Polywad made good products. I liked their spreader loads better than RST. Both very good. I wish Polywad would start up again.

I believe that Jay is OK, but I heard that he has retired/moved on.

Buy a 12 pack---enjoy the beers while making your own.---The package will make enough to last until next time.

I don't see why not but I’ve always just ordered and used the 16ga ones. If PW doesn’t come back we may be forced to all kinds of work-arounds to keep loading and shooting the disc spreaders.

Not sure who owns it. I did a quick search and found that they did $74,000 last year with 2 employees........not good news.
