Is there a band on shipping glycol across the border?

I am not a Canadian. I’m a Texan and I get mine from veneersupplies.com

Peter, I don't think there is any canadian distributor of Super Soft II. I'd just get it from veneersupplies.com. I don't think there will be any issue at the boarder. Get them to ship via USPS though so it just goes through the mail and you won't have to worry about brokerage fees.

Texas was an independent country from 1836 to 1845. Texans elected David Burnet our first president, Sam Houston our second and fourth, Mirabeau Lamar our third and Anson Jones our fifth. We are still the only state in the union with the right to sussed from the union written in both our state constitution and article of statehood. In fact we darn near brought it to a vote in 1978. Failed by 900 signatures on a partition to bring a resolution to the floor of the state house. While we are proud to be Americans we do think of our state as a whole different county pizza :D

Super soft is not needed at all with Ziricote. Any cracking will not be across the grain it will be with the grain and super soft will not be a help there. Ziricote's problem is it wants to split not crack. In fact I find it bends fairly easily. The way I avoid with grain splitting is to flood with thin CA first allow to cure, scrape flat and bend. There are fumes given off so I wear my respirator but it not bad.

It appears to be quite a stiff wood. how thin should it be before bending?

Another point of supersoft. It will draw color out of dark woods so don't over soak it like I tend to do..... [xx(]

Peter,

If you are stuck for some super soft I can send some over. I bought a gallon a while ago. Shipping cost as much as the liquid! You can just replace it when you decide to buy some from Joe. I am just over in Terrace.

.080-.085 is fine. If you not real confident in you bending skills yet you could go as low as .070 but reall it bend easy enough.
