www.schuricht.de or www.distrelec.com do have this product. No idea
though if they deliver to the US. Worth a try though since they also
have an online shop. 

I haven't followed the thread, but I wonder why one want's to use this
spray. I use either pre coated material or then dry film resist, but
anyways....
