    this is off topic Big Eddy but perhaps you can help or someone in your workshop can advise. I am looking for a food grade paint, in the USA they use Camcote ... I can not find it here and wondered if anyone knew of a Canadian alternative?

    I see it is used both by maple sugar and honey enthusiasts. I am both, currently trying to refurbish an old galvanized honey extractor (a barn find) and want to coat with a food grade paint reasonably priced... there are epoxy paints (Steel It for instance) however at close to $160 a gallon .....

    thanks
