I'm looking for some MEKP. I know I can buy it at auto parts store and walmart, but its a little expensive.

Where can I buy some at a lower price?

I'd vote for uscomposites.com at $28 a gallon, but the absolute cheapest way to get it would be in bulk 50 gallon drums :)

That's about it unless you are buying a hugh amount. A little goes a long way since it is measured in drops.

You can try iboats store which I have found to be much cheaper than box stores even after you add in shipping.

I found some at a local auto parts/refinishing store. They sold the bottles that come with the gallon of resin for $2, where walmart sells the quart size bottles for the same price.

Hi 4runner..

How much do you need ? 10 bucks for 40cc tube ?

I still have over half of my 50 gal drum that Id be willing to part with ( cheapers .. only had 47 gals in that drum..something to due with Hazmat expansion or something grr.. ). Oh..and another thing.. Im not sure..but I think Im on the NSA's list ... :p

Ask around for stores that have loose tubes of this..

YD.

hahahaha, viagra...good stuff. i need some of that hardner too, they never include enough in the tubes for the gallon...especially if you mix it at the 14 drops per ounce recomendation. where are they mixing resin? alaska? :rolleyes: I can only get away with 7 drops per ounce here, but then again it's nearly 100 degrees this time of the year in south Texas.

heh...I thought I was doing something wrong. I ended up using nearly twice as much as they recommended, and I measured out in drops.
