Sure .. you order it from them in the US and get it shipped ground (and deal with the hassles). There are no Cdn distributors that I know of.

Why not call Mario Proulx or Michael Collins (up in Keswick Ont) - they are using the Chemcraft version, I just dont know the product code. There are plenty of places have that in Canada.

product 355-390 is a great pre-cat lacquer. I know that Marc Beneteau is using a two part cat lac from them as well.

I am using the opticure UV cure polyester from Chemcraft. Along with the isolante for sealing oily woods. I pick it up at a distributor North of Toronto.
I got my handheld UV light from UVIII in Massachusetts. None of the products are inexpensive, but they work very nicely together.
There is a learning curve, as it does not act like lacquer, but the time savings is well worth it to me.

Also, their pre-cat lacquer is the best NC I have ever worked with.
