Hello Ian!
Quoting the McMaster-Carr catalog:
"We ship around the world. Our export department can accomodate most
forms of payment and provide all necessary documentation."
Order telephone number: 908-329-3200 M-F 0700-2100 eastern.
97% of items ordered from McMaster Carr (over 155,000 products in stock!)
are shipped within eight hours.
The McMaster-Carr catalog lists a full page of temperature indicating
crayons. The price I quoted was for a kit of 20 crayons that are only
3/4 inches long. The price goes up to $96.67 (p/n 3224K32) for 2 1/2 inch
crayons!
They also sell the melting (as opposed to color changing) crayons
individually in temperatures from 113 degrees f thru 2500 (yes... 2500)
degrees f. 35 separate temperature indicating crayons are available over
the 113 to 600 degrees f range (aprox 12 degree steps) for $ 7.36 each.
