Consumables
Consumables are common useful items, materials, and other supplies that hackspace aims to keep in stock for everyone's convenience.
Consumables are for the reasonable light use of all members in their projects. If you are using a large proportion of our stock of any item, you should consider buying it it yourself rather than depleting the Hackspace's communal supply. Common janitorial, maintenance, and PPE items are also classed as consumables.
If you spot that we are getting low on a consumable item, you can post an entry to this thread requesting replenishment and one of the committee will restock the item(s).
Any overstock of consumables are stored in the consumables cabinet in the corridor. Please check here before posting.
If you think a new item should be added to the consumables list, please request on the same thread and the committee will vote to get this consumable approved. A majority vote from the committee is required for this approval to pass.
