christ thats cheap! You coming to Eurotec? Can you bring us a couple of
5 litre containers of it?
Hi Claire,
Perks of living by the sea between Southampton and Chichester, there's more boat builders than you can shake a stick at down here.
The ones I use buy the acetone in barrels (205 litres a time, and put in to large vats) I take my container in and they fill it up for a fiver. Another boat builder who's a little more tight up, sells it in 5 litre containers for about £8.50, I only use him when the others are closed

Not sure about bringing a tanker of the stuff to eurotech as it VERY flammable. I suggest you try your local fibreglass fabricators and see how you get on. Most are keen to hear it's to help restore a Delorean, and may not even charge you the first time you visit if you take your own container


Don't just think it's a boat builder you need; there are architectural, water treatment/storage, and Automotive fibreglass fabricators throughout the UK.
Don't go to trade counter (like Frosts) you'll pay through the teeth, that's how they are in business!
Good luck
Regards
