Powder would be great, but I understand that shipping is the real kicker in the cost. What did you pay for shipping for the 5lb. powder to where?
I paid standard UPS ground (from their warehouse in TX are to Norfolk VA) + the $20 hazmat shipping fee. I think my total cost was like $115 or something. Comes in a plastic bag inside a standard 1 gal paint can.
The deal on the fee is that you pay the extra $20 each time you ship anything that qualifies as hazmat. So if you buy a gallon from Spruce, you pay that extra $20. If you buy another gallon a month later, you pay another $20. If you try to ship more than 1 gallon at a time, cost goes up exponentially.
I had looked for the liquid stuff at the local auto parts and boating stores, but they wanted more than Spruce does. Given that 5lbs of powder will make something like 50-100 gallons of the stuff depending on how strong you mix it, I figured it was a fair deal.
If you go the powder route, be SURE to read the MSDS and be very careful anytime you open the can. The powdered stuff is potent, you don't want it all over everything, and definitely don't want to breathe any of it.
I believe Tim Olson
