Where can I buy Deco Art Staining & Antquing Medium in Canada?

It would be even better if you can tell me a store on the East side of Toronto that sells it.

 

I've been using water to dilute acrylic paints to make them more stain-like but I understand that it is better to do so with this product.

I found a place to order this namely www.artistsClub.com.

 

Although this is a USA site and one pays in USA dollars, they have a warehouse in Burlington Ontario and ship from there if the destination is within Canada.  I placed an order for the Staining & Antiquing Medium as well as some brushes and some acrylic paint and received my order six calendar days after placing it.

 

Good value and good service!

Frank, what were their prices like, and did they charge you in Can. or U.S. dollars? I've found Michaels to be a bit disappointing in Canada, they don't carry half the products that the american stores do. It's quite aggravating at times, I read about these wonderful products but I can't buy them in Canada. And with our dollar being as low as it is right now, it's cost prohibitive to get anything shipped from the states. I know I can't afford to give up $33.00 on the hundred, then add in the cost of shipping.

Len figure out what you want then have someone on our side of the border drop ship it over to you.   I have shiped to Canada,  a 1 kilo box - using USPS International First Class for around $17 USD.  You can put a whole lot of ArtDeco paint bottle is a box and keep it under 1 kilo ( 2.2 Lbs ). Just a thought.

Lucky, I guess you didn't notice that I said in my post that the charges are in US funds.

 

As to prices, I think that they are quite good.  For example, I paid 99 cents US for each 2oz jar of acrylic paint..  Of course, since they are sourcing the order in Canada, you do pay Goods and Services tax of 13%.  The shipping for what was about a 1 kilo package was $13 (US).

Dw, I've tried to get different people to be a forwarder for me, but, no one was interested in doing so for a bunch of different reasons. Plus, some people won't ship to a second address, due to the foolishness that goes on in the internet. Some just didn't want to be bothered, even though I was willing to pay the person a stipend for doing so. Some didn't want to get into it, cause they thought it was being a bit shady or underhanded and they didn't want to get into trouble. There was other excuses, but, these two were the most common. So, after a while I just gave up on the idea, but now that our dollar is only worth about .68 cents compared to the U.S. greenback. The issue of cost effectiveness comes into play now, so, I won't be shipping anything from the states in the near future.
