I ran out of my first $26 gallon of the stuff about a year ago (after
knocking over the can and spilling about a quart) and had to shop around for
new.  A gallon was priced at about $16 but shipping would add a good 10
bucks or so because it's considered hazardous.  I found that I could buy 5
gallons of it from Priest Chemical (I think) in Seattle for just $35.00 (a
little over $40 after tax).  To top it off, the salesman was willing to drop
it off at Galvin Aviation at Boeing field so all I had to do was give him
credit card data and pick the stuff up next time I flew in to Seattle - no
shipping charges!!  Below is the address and phone number of the
manufacturer.  They can tell you where to buy it in your area.  By the way,
I must have almost 4 gallons of it left and would gladly sell a gallon or
two for about $12 per if someone close needs it.  I don't think that
shipping it is anything I want to do so it'll have to go to someone who's in
the Seattle or Olympic Peninsula area.

By the way, I was told that actually the stuff is pretty cheap to make, but
the narrow market and the high shipping costs is what makes it dear for you
and me.

On another topic, I'm sure impressed with John Herminghauses idea of putting
the parts list in Excel.  I wish I'd heard about it before, John.  I've got
under 20% of parts left to deal with and they are pretty managable now.

Anyone building the IVP would be wise to put the FIREWALL STIFFENING RIBS in
early - prior to putting in the rudder pedals, and maybe even the hydraulic
and fuel lines as well.  I've got all that and the S-Tec roll servo
installed and access is a bitch.  You won't find this step until you look in
the back of the interior panel section - about 10 chapters or more after it
ought to be done.
