someone in the UK is selling smaller portions of seal n glide (similar to what used to be available). Seems like the company just grabbed a big bottle and made smaller portions to sell.

€24,50 Incl. Tax = 400 ML = 10 m²

180 EU = 10 m² Kite-Refit Service (i.e. you send in the kite for them to do it).

Elves/Drwarves have a strong labor union (things have changed since the days of Snow White), hence the upcharge.

Looks like that is paying them to do it. 24.50 EU for a 10m. I don't know how expensive the seal and glide was.

Ha, looks like I took to long to respond.

Anyone know who on earth are Trade Secret? they are selling the Seal N Glide here :

Looks like the same stuff as the link above.... anyone found anywhere that sell it?

Someone posted back in February that "Holmenkol has stop producing it in anything smaller than 25L."

I expect that Trade Secret is someone that is repackaging in smaller quantities and reselling it with Holmenkol's blessings.

Holmenkol isn't in an aerosol can though... although I'm wondering if you couldn't just mix it up then put it into the spray gun of a compressor...

thats not a good thing to do. the MSDS for the seal n glide is why it isnt in the US anymore. I talked to the last company about getting more of the stuff and they decided to close up shop due to the health problems of the solution. the stuff will air dry before it gets on the fabric, thus ending up in your lungs.
the spray stuff is not the same as seal n glide, it is a knock off of the old fabric spray of years ago with a new twist from what I was told. will have to wait for the new stuff to arrive to compare with the seal n glide.
I am working on the shipping cost to get a better price. 24 euros is the cost before shipping.

Minimum Safe Dose? They not have face masks in the US? :o
