Few minutes with a caliper, 10 minutes on fusion, and hour wait and I have this. I'll have to cut the Allen screws to length, but pretty solid for now.

Grizzly sells it in bulk volumes as well as bottles.

Well, my own UPS Adventure turned out well!

I ordered 1 quart of Vipers Venom from Grizzly. I fully expected that my order would get rejected. Instead I got a shipping date and a tracking number with UPS.

A week ago or so, I got an invoice for shipping, handling, and customs. I paid that electronically.

Today, this arrived - undamaged and sitting right side up.



On the strength of how well this trip went, I'll order a 5 gallon pail as soon as Grizzly has stock. Then I'll make some available to members who want some.

For anyone who might be interested, venom is a high sulphur cutting oil for ferrous materials. What makes it special is its stickiness and slinging qualities. You put a drop on the work, and it spreads out and sticks to the steel. One drop is good for 2 or 3 passes. It's great stuff, best I've ever used.

Not sure what you paid but viperbenchrest.com shows $25/qt and $265/5 gallon. US I guess plus shipping. Site suggests it's in stock. Just sayin.

I know. But I also know he will not ship to Canada. Too much headache.

Although I have known him to bring some along for himself when he visits and then accidentally leave some behind... .

Kind of ironic that his shop is just across the river. I've been invited to visit but the opportunity has never come up.

Prolly just for regular products, not chemicals.

But I have his phone number & email. I'll ask him directly.

Update - they are telling me now they can ship after all! Go figure.

Bonus - same price as Grizzly sale price.

I'll order a pail as soon as I get confirmation of the details.

Thank you for pushing this!

Update - it turns out that Grizzly is the cheaper option after all. Grizzly shipping is $50US by UPS plus a 10% Discount right now and they have stock again now. Direct from Viper is $150 by UPS and it was their best option. I confirmed that.

Either way, it is now off the table as Canada has just imposed a 25% tarrif on it. I'll wait till the smoke clears before I do this.
