    100% IMS supply in Australia

    I'm looking for 100% IMS to dilute some Ubeaut Hard Shellac. 95% is standard at Bunnings etc. Very affordable.

    Definitely not acceptable. Even if you doubled from the 12th fret to set your scale length correctly, the frets won't be accurate. Not fit for purpose under Australian consumer law!
