Default RE: PVC fuselauge material

I hear that there is two types of the PVC that people are using for fuselauge material. I hear that one is made in the US while the other is made in Canada. I recently repaired a few battle weary Gremlins and had our local hardware store order me a section of the square PVC. I didnt pay much attection to it until I had cut out my fuselauge and set it in the wing and I then noticed that it was smaller than the other PVC that I had been using. It appeared to be appx 1/8in narrower. I noticed that it had a sticker on it which said it was made in Canada. It is not a big problem I just used some thin balsa sheeting to fill the gap. But my question is this, Where can I get some of the USA made PVC?

Thanks,
FUZZ

It's getting harder to find...but the last time I saw it, was at a local ACE hardware store.

I have been getting mine at home depot. It is square down spout (Gutter Pipe). Works great and 10 ft of it will make a lot of airplanes.
