Our old friend Dan (Zaggy) made his own PE parts. Would love to try it but have no idea where to get the chemicals.

Andy, the chemicals you may find in shops for electronic engineers. Of course if there are such hobby shops in Canada .

Fairly straightforward, but the chemicals,and, if used, the film and exposing / processing equipment, are relatively expensive for small production runs - hence the cost of commercial PE parts.
Basic parts could be produced using clear film negs produced via a PC, but again, it's not exactly cost effective.
For a full-time commercial business, buying the materials 'in bulk', it is a viable business.
