I tried searching this forum and looking online, but I can't seem to find a source to buy blocks of Ytong in California.  Does anyone know of a supplier that will sell individual blocks?

Pretty much almost impossible to find them in the U.S. period. They aren't used very frequently. I think most blocks you will find are imported from Mexican Factories.

I have been trying to find Ytong for a long, long time and I found a supplier on eBay, if you want to drive to Florida. Or, If you want to buy a pallet of ytong he will get it shipped.
