Their site isn't showing the price anymore. So I am asking here. Anyone remembered the price and for which size it was? Does anyone know what the liquid is? I see other companies selling just the powder. Might give it a try to make it my own because no one seems to be selling it.

Bioquip sadly closed down a few months ago. However there are other places you can buy fluon:
