What is the best mail/online order source for Mr. Surfacer?

I'll second the vote for Squadron, as well as the warning: you'll go to their site intending to buy ONLY a can of Mr. Surfacer, but you'll end up buying a crate of 1/72 airplanes with matching aftermarket decals, resin wheels, photo-etch cockpits, etc. Be careful!

My local hobbyjoint carries it. I'm just beginning to use the stuff and love it.

Squadron isn't the most adroit web-purchasing site, but they're quite good on the phone.

Squadron's under new ownership, (last November I think) and they've re-vamped both their website and their monthly mail flyer since the switch.
I liked their site a lot better before the change.
FYI,
Sprue Bros carries Mr Surfacer as well.

I have some in a spray can. Is the bottle stuff better?

Neither or worse, just different uses. I use the spray cans for priming an entire model, while I use the bottled stuff for filling minor seams and scratches. It's also good as a final seal over Bondo.
