[TowerTalk] Nearly free junction boxes are plastic...

[Gene Smar]

Dan et al:

     I ran down (actually, I drove) to the HD nearest me (Aspen Hill, MD) and found no such plastic box (Carlon?) either in stock or on sale.  The gentleman manning the electrical goods aisle told me that that store didn't even have a spot for plastic 6X6X6 boxes on its shelves.

     I'm guessing that your HD store found this size box in low demand and decided to dump them.  Lucky you.

Had two emails in the last half hour asking whether the penny boxes
were plastic or metal... so figure this is of general interest to the
list as well.

They're plastic ;-)

I prefer plastic for cramped matching network boxes.

I guess they do better with UV exposure if you hit them with a couple
coats of paint, but I like painting stuff to make it look nice anyway.
