I used to get it from Pioneer Supply out of Pittsburgh PA.
They no longer carry it.
I guess it has gone the way of Sapphire Brush Oil.
I loved it too!
Wasn't it made in Germany?
Love....Jill

The tape that I used was .25" Fine Line from 3M (light green color) and is available at most automotive paint suppliers.

I have been using this new green tape from Europe. It is 1/2 the price of the 3M, and though it smells funny, it works great. It is a lot like the 3M blue tape. I want to see if they have a version of the 3M green. It is available from our local AutoBody Supply house.
