Did you ever figure out / get the cost down to what it will cost you to produce this gelled alcohol? Afew of my friends and I were interested in making our own here in the USA as to buy it is, well, not as much interest as making our own + cutting the cost of buying it. Best price here in the States via mail order or even in a Wal-mart is around $2.50 [uS dollars] each can. Collecting these cans helps as they are reusable and have tight fitting lids. My cost per can now in 2012 w/ an 8% sales tax is $1.46 to $2.21 per 16oz can.
How does this work out compared to your costs?
