I've been using accelerator from Lee Valley that has a pump atomizer, but I am not happy with its performance. All of the stateside suppliers that I have contacted are hesitant to ship their aerosol accelerators to Canada because they generally dont make it through customs. Can anyone suggest a Canadian source for this stuff?

Greg- I use lysol disinfectant spray as a accelerator. Try it on a "scrap" area first to see if you like it. Jim

One of our club members owns an automotive paint store and IIRC, has stated he is equipped to custom produce spray cans of paints and other liquids sold in non-aerosol form. Perhaps there's a similar option in your vicinity.

Thanks for the tips. Jim, how did you figure out that lysol worked as an accelerator?

Greg- I'm not that smart to figure it out. I saw it on one of the forums. Didn't have lysol, but had wal-mart brand of disinfection on hand and tried that. Worked for me. Good luck Jim
