You might shoot them an email to find out.

sales@aldcroftadhesives.com

I got a response from Julie Aldcroft, no less. Although they do not (yet) sell in the USA, I learned about their plans to do so in the near future by writing to them. Maybe they are already in NZ.
Aldcrofts is a pretty small family business. Julie and Lee Aldcroft are the two main people there. I think Julie is the main Chemist and Lee makes a lot of the produce. Very nice set of people to deal with (my brother was at school with Lee Aldcroft which is how I got to know about them in the first place). They will spend the time to discuss the pro-cons of their produce.

I used a standard B&Q artex type textured foam roller http://www.frappr.com/?a=viewphoto&id=1 ... id=5790991(Julie Aldcroft suggested this method as the best alternative to spraying)
