Shipping from the U.S. to Canada is very expensive and can sometimes take a very long time. For example, I have a small order from StewMac that has been sitting in a FedEx New Jersey warehouse since July 8th, three weeks. It left StewMac on July 7th. It'll probably cost me nearly $50 in various FedEx brokerage fees, taxes, taxes on the brokerage fees... for a $270 order, for which I paid $33 for shipping. The order fits in a small box. Welcome to Canada, eh. |

The irony is that the tape is made in Canada.
I am wondering if USPS is cheaper and less of a hassle than Fedex, but that may just be on noncommercial shipments. |

Ah, life's ironies.
Western red cedar, grown in British Columbia, is cheaper in the U.S. than Canada. Lots of things are. Quote:

Thanks for the info on the tape!
I just got the back binding done, and then my power went out so I guess I won’t be doing much more this evening. How long should it sit? I used the CA glue method with the accelerator. |

Go ahead. CA is really quick.

Thanks for the tip. I usually use rubber bands, but good to know it can be had elsewhere cheaper for the occasions when I do use it.
