You can just enter the supplies as a single line.  Just keep the detail for the life of the tax return in case of an audit.

I have been entering materials used on a job under the supplies. I just saw that is supposed to be things usually under $200  like for an office, this was chemicals used on job sites valued much more. Where should i put if not there?

Yes just enter it and Materials under Supplies.   You don't have to enter each receipt or item.  You can just enter the grand total for the year.   Or if you don't want to use Supplies you can enter anything you want under Other Misc Exp.  That is on Part V which goes to Schedule C line 27a.
