Sorry, I had the spelling wrong.
The active ingredients are not on the can, but here is a link to their website. Along with explaining product use, there is a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available for download. The sheet states the composition.
The product is made in the USA, but I've always been able to find it at the local hardware stores in Canada.
It does show up in Amazon and eBay searches, but looks like shipping may cost more than the product, depending where you live.
Hope you have good luck finding it. Not sure if there are equivalent products. Maybe Google can help.
The can contains a cotton wadding saturated with the ingredient. I sometimes pull off a small piece, or stick a cotton swab into the tin. The swab will absorb the ingredient.
The swab method takes a little longer but is less messy. If you do use a wad from the can, you really want to avoid touching other areas of the tube. It is an oily substance. I often use Isopropyl Alcohol for clean up. I think soap and water works ok too. When using a wad, you can't help but get it on your fingers!
Cheers!
