Now you just have to overcome the issue of mailing explosive materials from the UK to the US LOL!
It would be nice to find a local source.

A local source would be nice, but probably won't happen anytime soon. It may seem like a splurge to some, but the amount of material you can dye with it far out weighs the price. I put $30.00 of gas in my truck just about every time that I fill it up, for what, less than a week of driving, mostly to work? You'll have a lifetime supply of dyed materials of any sort. For the non-believers here's the two liters that I mentioned earlier. I have my bench buddy Gumby, who's creator Art Clokey just passed at the age of 88 on January 11th, holding some vintage Heron and some fresh Polar bear that I plan on dyeing with it among a bunch of other stuff when I actually get the time.
Regards,
Mark
