Their site also lists some other important variations, including the 
volume% of solids.  For example:  The LC600 Water White Topcoat shows 
14% solids by volume; whereas the LC405 Water White Vinyl Sanding 
Sealer shows 20%.  (As opposed to 24% solids by weight for the former 
and the latter.)  The latter can be catalyzed (which provides 
moisture resistance), which should probably happen before being 
thinned down for voicing use.

Since US Cellulose is in Chico, CA, it's a relatively local source 
for some of us.  If shipping is a problem, one might be able to work 
something out with a local chemical/photographic supply 
house.  Places like that deal with hazardous materials shipping regularly.

Best.
