Re: pb blaster in Canada??

A label. Wow.

That is legit, 'No French' on the label, no sale. I 'might' have a bead on a supplier in Ontario Canada, I am waiting for an email reply from my friend that got me some and I will post the info when I get it.

I couldn't find it either so I tried Fluid Film. Has worked great so far on everything I put it on, mainly 70 year old rust on a 29 Model A

In the case of PB Blaster it wouldn't be just a label, it would also be an MSDS, carton labels, adevertising materials, etc. Still this isn't too bad. However the returns are probably low on the few additional sales to Canada. However, PB Blaster is great stuff, so it seems to me that this might be a good oppurtunity for a sharp small business person in Canada.

I have never understood the rules in Canada. They are much harsher than the rules imposed by France for importation of products into France. For many years I worked for a group that built test equipment for company employees. For virtually the whole rest of the world, we could get away with operator information in English only since the equipment was not intended for sale outside of the company and was only for trained service personnel. However to send it to Canada we had to include French-Canadian translations on the equipment. And the most bizarre thing was, we couldn't just use any old French translation, it had to be French-Canadian. I am not sure what the difference is, but I know I had to redo several labels over the years becasue they were French-French and not French-Canadian. There were many times I wished we did not have to send stuff to Canada.

That's the theory, I understand that. I'm in Ottawa.

Just for fun, go to your local (if available) Chinatown, and check labels.

I was just browsing through my IPD catalog which is a US company and I saw it there. So how come I can order it via mail but I cannot buy it in a store.

Because, amazingly, Canadian laws only apply in Canada.

Try KBC thats where I get it from About $7. Now if I can just find some MARVEL MYSTRY OIL here,

Just take kerosine and mix it with Type A ATF. It will look the same and work almost as well.
