www.selectproducts.com has it. I don't know about shipping it to Canada though.

Here is some info for you. www.ipscorp.com/ind_html/acrylics.html

You could try contacting them for a nearby distributor.

We use this stuff at work all the time (methlyene chloride aka MC) use a respirator and rubber gloves. we use the MC in a syringe. Be sure to grind off the tip of your needle because if you poke yourself with the MC you won't last 10 mins. Also make sure that you get all the air bubbles out of the syringe, so that the MC won't run out. hope that this helps if you choose to do it this way.

Since you're local....
I've seen it at Industrial Plastics and Paint, Plastic Works, and even Fibretek. Anywhere that sells plexiglas or plastics will have it or can get it easily.

BTW MC will interact to a point with acrylic and may make it brittle, some guys used MC to remove alkyd paint off a light cover and afterwards the plexi was extremely brittle. I don’t know whether it was the paint or the paint remover that caused the brittleness. I did some research on this and the MC was ‘blamed’ by the plexi manufacturer. Still hearsay but I am throwing it out there.

I`ll ask at work to see if they have had a problem like this before. So far the company has never got back anything that has been "MC`D" together. Weld-on is awsome stuff too. Just make shure you apply pressure after you mc or weld the plexi together. If you don`t it won`t work to it`s full potiential. And be safe when using this stuff.
