Look  inside of your Mann Lake catalog (Page 24 of the '96 catalog) and
see if there is a distributer close to you.  The one I use still has
shallow permadent availble from last year.
 
My experience with Duragilt has been negative.  The bees ate the wax down
to the plastic sheet and would not draw it out again.  I have several
frames that have about 1/ 3 of the comb gone.  I plan to use permadent
this year with hopefully better results.
 
Good luck!
