Title: Seafoam in North America
Post by: Mindenbrush on 09 June 2011, 07:53:56 PM

The dried plant Seafoam looks just trees minus their foliage and I was thinking of having a go at using some to make trees but have not been able to find a North American supplier (other than some auto connection).

Talked to Jed of Antenociti's Workshop and he suggested contacting Canad Customs in case there is a ban on it. Canada Food Investigation Agency sent me half a dozen links to look at but that will have to wait until I get home tonight.

Anyone else in North America used Seafoam?

THe only Seafoam I know about is a gas additive that helps keep carbon deposits from forming.

I've not heard of this at all.

If I am not mistaken, this product from woodland scenics is what you are referring too.
