Odd that this isn't available in the UK when it's even available in Sweden with localised label, added by the importer?! I thought UK if any had an excellent selection of products on the market compared to us here?Annoying isn't it. I want panel line accent colour black/brown/grey. Mark fit strong but no stock in the U.K.
How is that? If you got 250 kg of hydrogen peroxide in Australia, u literally would have the SAS knocking (exploding with charges) ur front door!:eek:Is this really such a big problem in today's world of cheap postage from pretty much everywhere in the world?
Ok, I try to buy everything locally to support the local business - even if it costs a bit more, but when something isn't available locally I just order from wherever it's available, and at a reasonable cost.
All the paint products I've now bought for my scale model adventure has had added stickers with native warning texts on them in order to be compliant, but every country has its laws and some chemicals will always be forbidden, and that's where the real problem starts.
I have a great number of hobbies and some of them require chemicals. Various acids and hydrogen peroxide. (acids for etching metals and hydrogen peroxide to bleach bones)
This didn't used to be a problem at all - just buy them over the counter at your local paint shop.
Increased terrorism and braindead politicians made things really hard for us who need these things and Sweden has turned into the country who's banned the most chemicals the last 20 years or so... sigh.
You can still buy these chemicals in "industrial" quantities/sizes/volumes so instead of buying a 1 litre bottle of acid, or a small bag of something - you now have to buy 250 kg or a 25 litres!!! Talk about barking up the wrong tree because someone with sinister motives wouldn't buy a 1 litre bottle - he would buy a couple of 25 litre ones, and so has these bans only created problems for those who need it whilst not stopping it for those who shouldn't have access to it...
Sorry about the OT rant but I've hit so many dead ends the last 10 years when trying to buy something that's run out and I've been told it's no longer available. Now I just order these banned things from the net and have them shipped in anonymous - but otherwise safe and correct - packages in order to keep uncle customs from opening them.
If there are things you can't get hold of then list those things here and I'll see if they are available where I live? If so it's a simple task to send them.
