Looking for local vendor of copper cut tacks

[gazzer]

I need a few dozen 1/2" copper cut tacks for a boat project. Anyone know of a local vendor? I could order them online but it's either in bulk (way to many) or shipping is out of proportion to the size of the purchase (or both). I have seen copper plated steel tacks around but I can't use anything that will rust.

Thanks in advance.

The W. Raleigh Lowes has the 7/16" size in stock:

Thanks,

From their web site, it seems that 7/16" are all that's available anywhere, but my local Lowes only has 3/4" - go figure. I'll call around in the hope that one of the Lowes in the area actually has 1/2". 7/16" may do but probably not. I'm thinking that I may just buy the 3/4" and snip a bit off.

Thanks again.
