Does anyone know where I could get some Behlen vinyl sealer in the UK? Behlen themselves are currently out of stock...

I always had bought it from Stewmac, but I just checked and see that they won't ship outside of the US.

Bumping back to the top.

Does anyone know someone in the UK who stocks Behlen vinyl sealer? Behlen themselves (UK) are currently out of stock...

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that due to high VOC or some ingredient it isn't permitted in the EC. I have no knowledge on this- just a wild guess based on past experience.

Thanks John but most places still seem to have the vinyl sealer in an aerosol can, but not by the litre.

Any reason to not use the clear itself (PPG, Glasurit or whatever) as a sealer? Except that the clear is much more expensive than vinyl sealer.
Myself I’m planning to go Glasurit clear all the way from bottom to top, and for the color burst I’ll mix transparent dye in Glasurit. Using the same stuff all the way should ensure there won’t be any inter-bonding problems between different products – I think.
Wouldn’t the same approach be possible for an opaque finish, mixing in some type of pigmented tint (Mixol for instance) for the color coat?

No, that's what I'll have to use now. I just wanted to try and stick with the methods outlined by Paul and co. who've done all this before.
