Since so many of us on here use this on our trucks, thought to post.

I got an email from Amazon today since I bought 3 cans of Plasti-Dip through them.  Does go the Health Canada website and isnt a scam email

Is this just Canada being Canada and over sensitive.  REallu just a labeling issue
 
Thanks for the info Spidey  (y)

This only affects Plasti-Dip products purchased in the USA

I'm sure this was initiated by Paisley the Canadian distributor,
because so many are buying this product in the States and they are losing a boatload of money.
($5.99 USD vs. $19.99 CDN)
 
All I got out of that was the wrong label. Different rules for different countries. I'll take the $5.99 can. Or in our case the, $6.59 cdn can. (y)
 
Wouldn't it be better to publish whatever warning is missing?

Doubt it will effect any use of it, just putting out an FYI really
