Tracerline also does specialised aircon dyes, http://www.tracerline.com/dyesforacr_bigez.html, presuambly available from their UK distributor http://www.autoclimate.com/ - but seemingly only in multoi-shot cartridges, also needing a hardware multi-shot dye injector. Hopefully, aircon specialists can provide that service to Bongoists, when needed.

Surely that's right. Haydn is clearly going to get (already is) involved in a lot of time and effort to make this green nectar available to us. For my part, I would rather the forum's rules actively encouraged members to make at least modest profits, if they wish to on such useful activities, to help ensure that goodies ARE made available - but in a controlled way, as below. Otherwise, spats like the one which surfaced here, will always be a risk - and genuine small traders serving the community will themselves be at risk.

When members do get together to buy/supply on a non-profit cooperative basis, that's great, of course, but the wide world doesn't really work like that for long, and hasn't done since the ancients (that's me!) first introduced money (that wasn't me).

Who would vote for encouraging Haydn to add at least a modest amount to cover some more of his true costs and not just the cost of raw material and postage, to help him to keep the supply channel open - or all we all too mean? Say another quid - it surely wouldn't break us if we can afford to run Bongos in the first place.

Somebody earlier suggested a "Suppliers" board. I would strongly vote for that, with properly structured application (not too complicated/no Bongo type approvals/let the buyers decide for themselves), followed by fair, reasoned, and reasonable admin/mod controls plus, as with all else anyway, a Bongo Shop/Maynards of Westwick Ltd veto.

....and, no I'm not planning to introduce any Bongo product or service :D
