Default Water Putty

Hi guys

Im trying to track down a tin of the following stuff. It is called Durhams Water Putter. I have also seen the name of Agnew's Water Putty used for a similar product although I think it is from Australia.

From what I can find it is a dry powder gypsum based product that is used as a general purpose filler on wood, plaster ect.

Does anyone know of a retailer in Southern Ontario, preferably close to Hamilton that carries the stuff.

Thanks for any help.

Mate I have sent off an email to Agnews.

I have asked do they have an US or Canada agent.

Stuff comes in 5 Kg container, which will make it expensive to freight. I will get quote on that tomorrow.

I will revert soon on your options

Regards

A google search on water putty revels that you should able to buy at any large hardware store in US.

$4-95 for 4 lb tin.

I suggest you go that way as freight from here will be sooooo expensive.

Thanks so much for the help. I will try and find some of this stuff over here. I can believe shipping will be really high. Don't bother getting a shipping quote.

Thanks again
