The print-room shopping list, from the aisles it actually lives in: 91% isopropyl for the build plate, a 99-cent putty knife for print removal, flush cutters, sanding sponges, spot putty, CA glue, metric hex keys, and a dry box you build from a tote.

Contact cement, heat guns, hook blades, spackle, primer and rattle cans — the real EVA foam armor supply list, from the aisles it actually lives in.

The saltwater list: 3M 5200 in every size, marine epoxy, heat shrink, dielectric grease, all-stainless hose clamps, corrosion inhibitor and trailer grease. Ten minutes from the ramp.

Mold-line scrapers, needle files, spot putty, gray rattle-can primer, a pin vise and a lit magnifier — the prep and bench half of miniature painting, at hardware-store prices.

Chicken wire keeps chickens in; hardware cloth keeps predators out. The coop build list for Southwest Florida — wire, staples, raccoon-proof latches, posts and waterers.

Grinders and flap discs, torches, vises, handle epoxy, files, wet paper and buffing compound — the stock-removal knife build, from a hardware store with a sharpening center attached.

Outdoor cords, GFCI, timers, photocells, insulated staples and prop-building materials — the unglamorous half of a yard display that makes the rest of it work.

Why your palm fronds are yellow, and the fertilizer that actually fixes it. Palm food, Epsom salt, orchid bark, citrus fertilizer, soil tests, pruners and pole saws — stocked for Southwest Florida sand.

Chlorine, shock, acid, filter sand, test kits and the pole-and-brush end of pool care — stocked at both stores, at hardware-store prices.

Tubes, tires, patch kits, pumps, chains, cables, lights and locks. A flat tire on Saturday morning does not need a bike shop appointment.

Rust remover baths, steel wool in every grade, wire wheels, boiled linseed oil and paste wax — the flea-market-skillet and rusty-hand-plane aisle.

RG6 and quad-shield coax, F-connectors and crimp tools, splitters, ground blocks, copper-bonded ground rods and clamps — the wiring and grounding half of any antenna install.

Find your filter size, then pick a rating: $2.99 fiberglass, MERV 8 pleated, MERV 11–13 allergen, or 4-inch deep pleat. Stocked in Cape Coral and Fort Myers.
