Ground Glass joints

Hey just wondering if anyone knows somewhere to purchase ground glass joints like the kind you use to connect the pieces of a distillation apparatus. A place that ships to Canada would be brilliant.
Cheers

Use the search engine. Laziness is not an option here on this forum.

Try googling for "lampworking supplies". However, I happen to have a couple boxes of Quickfit cone joints that are for sale! Unfortunately the majority of the sizes seem to be more popular in Europe than North America, there are 24/29 instead of 24/40 for example. I have 10/29, B19, B29 > 12 each and one or two odd ones like B34.

I also have and abundance of plain (non-graduated, no drain) light solvent Dean Stark apparatus/traps with 24/40 that could be harvested.

And lastly, some giant 85/55 ones: http://coplanar.net/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=512

If you just need some blank joints, I might have a few, plus I have some stopcocks and other pieces that are designed for use in glassblowing. What size joints are you looking for? I also have plenty of broken items with joints that could be reused if needed.
