I contacted Timbecon about freight and got this reply.:sob::sob:

The first thing I thought was how the hell do they get it from the manufactures to their store?

Hi Mark,
The reason why it can't be sold on our website is because it can't be shipped by road freight. :nooidea:
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Phil.



If I wanted to drive its a 43 h 35 min 4123 km trip then I have to turn around and do another 4000+ Km trip home.:mad::mad:

Flexi I have found that oil does not keep for very long so it would definitely go off in 4 litre containers at great cost,I agree its a great finish. A family member of mine for many years in the UK used to dissolve the material in its thinners to acheive a Melamine finish for his pens.
