Greta deal. I pay 150.00 cad for a drum here from Composite One. Just to add, Industrial plastics buys the same drum and fills their 4L jugs and 5 gal pails. Can you imagine the money they make?

Re: price check

that was the idea on going to get it, saving the shipping and hazmat charges,
as well as stopping at a buds house on the river for a beer, lousy day but being near the water is good even when its bad.

Re: price check

I was told hazmat actually applies to the catalyst.
I buy catalyst at the hardware store cheaper with no fees.

Those prices are good.;)
Skip the wax.
