I was just about to pull the trigger on one of your large mold making kits but when I tried to recalculate postage to Australia I was presented with a small surprise. Namely, the fact that some of the products in the kit are considered as
Dangerous Goods
and therefor pose a bit of an issue when shipping.
Rather than simply being told that the items cannot ship the script very nicely informed me to contact EC and or modify the order.
Now, since this might be something that could affect others in a similar situation as myself I decided to make my question public in the hope that others may benefit from your answer.
So, what is the alternative to paying
£
1000 shipping on a
£79 kit if I want to ship it to my country (Australia) OR how can one get around such restrictions?

there are a few places i've found here in oz ,
www.amcsupplies.com.au
www.barnes.com.au
www.dalchem.com.au
there was also a company that had a big ebay store 'comp-supp' it was aafibreglass in hunter nsw, not sure if these are still in business as the ebay store is empty.
they may not have everything you want that is in the kit from ec but may have something simillar. or you could then get whats not available here from ec.
i'm originally from the uk, been here 3 years i found it difficult to track those 3 websites down and dalchem is around the corner from work lol
