    Engineering supply stores like Blackwoods stock it.

    I have a full set here if you live local I could let you borrow some.

    Cheers

    Thanks,
    I know your question was where in NZ but currently I have on order ex USA for a product called Omegalaq. Exactly the same as Tempilaq. Same shaped bottle and same coloured label! Second order I have placed with them. You can bring it via YouShop without problems although they may baulk if you want the thinners as well. Priced some Tempilaq locally the other day - $150 for a 2oz bottle! Omegalaq is US$20 a 2oz bottle! Brownells will also send Tempilaq to NZ - I asked the question in the last few days. Just their selection is not great. I don't know what Blackwoods charge.

    Clever Munsey.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yes.

    Or any other heat treatment of metals

    It's used to indicate the temperature.

    Ask any Toolmaker or Metallurgist, they tend to use it almost daily.

    I haven't bought any for a while now as a bottle lasts ages.

    Pete - also used in the laminates industry I think, low temp range though.

    That's what I expected. I tried weld well, plumbing suppliers, Twiggs in Wellys and another engineer supplier I forget the name of.
    Received blank looks from them all.

    I used to use it with the manufacture of Formica benchtops can be bought through the Laminex group. No idea cost though. From memory 165degC and 175degC.

    Impeys sell a 2oz bottle for $150+gst Trouble is (apart from the price of course) is they only have 325 degF. No good for annealing except maybe to tell you if you have cooked the base of the cartridge.
