Does anyone know of any suppliers of polycord beside Small Parts, Inc.? I want to shop around some because $22 for a 10' length will get a bit pricey when you need the stuff in bulk.

McMaster-Carr has prejoin urethane belting up to 60" outer circle length for reasonable prices, but I was hoping for something longer. Urethane is not as easy to join as polycord, apparently.
