    Stock Trivex??

    I would love nothing more than to do away with CR-39 and poly and just stock trivex. Is there an affordable way to do this and where should I look for prices?

    thanks,
    RJ

    I don't know about prices. . .

    but Hoya has finished Trivex with and without AR. We use San Diego because of their excellent customer service. 1-800-544-2015.

    I am sure that very soon Trivex will become more cost effective.

    He wants to replace all CR39 and Poly with Trivex, should have the same cost effectiveness.

    What planet are you on? You must be paying way too much for cr-39 and poly.
