Buying acetone in the UK

[Terra-Loon]

Does anyone know where to buy acetone (either off or online) without paying chandlery markup?

Thanks for that.

I'm also planning a hatch rebuild at the moment so that site might turn out pretty useful.

I get my stuff from here (St Austell):

I see you are in Brixham.

I have bought half litre tins of Cellulose Thinners in Trago Mills for a reasonable price. Not quite the same thing as Acetone but may do the job if you are looking for a modest amount. Phone them for availability and price before travelling.

at £10 for 5l, cfsnet are half the price of SML paints !

Yes, it would seem we have a winner! (Damn delivery charges notwithstanding)

Thanks all for your replies.

Similar price at ECF, £9.95 + VAT, I assume it's about the going rate.

I buy all my fibreglassing stuff from them, but if the OP's in the southwest then maybe CFS will be slightly faster delivery.

Nail bars buy it by the gallon, they may sell you some?

Best suggestion yet! I live next door to a hair dresser. She just gave me a litre.

I get it off eBay. Was a little surprised how easy it was to get something that volatile posted.

It is sometimes worth looking in yellow pages for local fibreglass supply companies.

Well, only as long as they haven't closed down since that was last printed

...'nother vote for eBay

I buy my Acetone from this seller on Ebay :


Purity is good and £20 for 10ltrs in secure container, with free postage.
Always turns up the next day.

If eBay and the local hairdresser don't work, some branches of Jewsons have it as part of their range of products for flat roofing.

Wherever you buy it, don't buy book matches at the same time

(First to spot reference wins kudos points)

I bought some from a fibreglass supplier in Glasgow once, and I had to complete a form saying I was not up to no good, and if I was then the authorities would come after my first born (or something like that!).

Do the eBay sellers have this?
