PEG1000 availablity in small amounts

[ChrisHo]

Hi
I work south of Hobart .Anyone aware of where you can buy small amounts of PEG1000(polyethylene Glycol 1000)in Hobart or Australia as I can only find Swift&Co (ph1300658663 ), who sell 230kg (44gallon drum ) for $1540 .Thats around $5 per kilo i am told.
Anyone in Hobart interested in dividing up one of these drums to give the stuff a go ?
Very good at dimensionally stabilising green timber and apparently eliminates face checking.Been used pre/during WW2 for this purpose for gun stocks by military.Very popular in USA & Britain for carving & green turning stuff as well as keeping table tops very flat & stable.PM me if interested

Lee Valley online & mail order sell the stuff by the pound (1/2 kilo). Airnmail takes about 1 week, surface 3 months. Then its only as far as your mail box.

regretably, I'm not related, just a happy customer.

I have been using a Mobil product , used to be called mobilsur end grain sealant, I bought a 44 gallon drum (yeh I know, its a bit over the top Ive got a lot of stuff) about half the price your looking at, I'll get the product details tomorrow and let you know, they let you pay online and prompt delivery.
