Why is Avian-B coating shipped without the alcohol?
The primary reasons are safety and cost. While the proper denatured alcohol (which we specify) is readily available, the cost of shipping coating with the alcohol is prohibitive. We would rather keep our prices low and specify the alcohol to use and give mixing instructions. And, since the events of 2001, shipping flammable materials has become a very difficult matter to arrange. The good news is that each liter of Avian-B coating that you purchase yields almost two liters of coating that can be sprayed. In addition, the shelf life of the pre-mix is quite a bit longer than the mixed coating, and small, portions can be made for each coating job as needed.
