Glyptal substitute?
I've recently started Porting and Polishing my intake manifold. I placed my order with Eastwood, then within an hour I receive an email stating, I would have an additional $90 on the shipping, because of a hazardous material and I live in Alaska. I was just wondering what other options I have?

Bummer...I wonder if that additional shipping charge applies to individuals...
Or just to chemical companies?
Maybe you can have someone else buy it and ship it to you for cheaper?
I'm not sure if there is a sufficient substitute. Seems like a pretty unique product...

I think its part of shipping hazardous....
materials. When we ship hazardous materals at work, we are held resposible until it changes custody. I think it is different for individuals. Now that you mention it, I don't think I've been asked whats inside when I ship items. Hmmmm...

Re: Glyptal coating. Could you find some locally...
...at an electric motor repair shop perhaps?
Could you ship your manifold to someone who's done this before & still has some left, for less money?
Or resign yourself to the fact that it never really gets that hot in Alaska? (just kidding!)
