You usually have to buy it per "Bolt" at about $50 per piece (usually 4ft by 2 foot a bolt)
You can find Barge through Tandy Leather.ca- sometimes they don't have any and may take weeks to ship to you and the cost is about $80 for a quart, so you are better off going there and buying it.
Another option is to go to your local Shoesmith and ask if you can buy Barge from them. In a pinch I was able to convince our local shoe repair guy to sell me some. I basically went there with a Mason Jar and swung a deal. LOL
