You won't get in trouble with the PO so ops ont worry.

I believe it started over the warning labels not being in English and now it's escalated to the point we can't get it anymore.

Ha ha love it.

I know it's a strange thing, I prefer extra thin myself, but use both.

Emodels shop is great so much to look at, I'll have to get down there one day again.

We had the same problem in the USA a couple of years ago. Who actually reads the safety labels on anything? :lol: I guess they need to say dont drink the cement/paint/glue as its bad for you as common sense is no longer enough. But we had the same problem with the Tamiya paint as well because the labels where in Japanese. Oh well I guess because of idiots and lawyers we all have to suffer :lol:

And as Paul said, you will not get in trouble mate, I actually love getting the cement with the labels in Japanese. Sort of cool :-)

Cheers

Strange one...
Mind yo, they do like to change transportation of hazardous materials regulations quite a lot!!!!
I bought some about 6 months ago now from http://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk
The bottle that came did have some English warnings on the bottle?
ImageGuessing it might be something else stopping it being transported?

;O)
