                            STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         THIS  AGREEMENT  MADE  THIS 1st day of  December,  1998,  by and  among
Maurice  Malacarne  ("Maurice  Malacarne"),  Judy Malacarne ("Judy  Malacarne"),
T-Coast  Pavers/Sealco  Systems,  Inc., a Florida  corporation  (the  "Company",
together with Maurice Malacarne and Judy Malacarne  sometimes referred to herein
as the  "Seller")  and  ThermaCell  Technologies,  Inc.,  a Florida  corporation
(hereinafter referred to as "Buyer").

         WHEREAS,  Maurice Malacarne and Judy Malacarne collectively own 100% of
the outstanding capital stock of the Company (the "Shares"); and

         WHEREAS, the Seller desires to sell, transfer and deliver and the Buyer
desires to purchase and acquire all of the Seller's right, title and interest in
the Shares on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

         NOW,   THEREFORE,   IN  CONSIDERATION  of  the  mutual  covenants  and
agreements contained herein be it agreed;

1.    Purchase and Sale of the Shares.
    

     (a) In General.  Seller shall,  subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
         sell,  transfer,  convey,  assign and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall
         purchase, accept, and pay for, all right, title, and interest in and to
         the Shares for a purchase price set forth below.

     (b) Purchase  Price.  The Purchase Price payable by Buyer to Seller for the
         Shares shall be 300,000 shares (the  "Purchase  Shares") of the Buyer's
         common stock.  The Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense,  register
         the  Purchase  Shares  and shall  file a  registration  statement  (the
         "Registration  Statement") with the Securities and Exchange  Commission
         ("SEC")  covering the Purchase Shares no later than April 15, 1999. The
         Buyer will use its best efforts to cause the Registration  Statement to
         be declared  effective at the earliest  possible time and will maintain
         the  effectiveness  of  the  Registration  Statement  until  all of the
         Purchase Shares are sold by the Seller.

     (c) Assumed Value. The Purchase Shares referenced in subparagraph (b) above
shall have an assumed value (the "Assumed Value") of $300,000.  If the aggregate
net proceeds  received by the Seller from the sale(s) of the Purchase Shares are
less than the  Assumed  Value,  then the Buyer shall pay the Seller an amount of
cash equal to the difference  between the Assumed Value and the actual aggregate
net proceeds from the sale(s). The aforementioned equalization of value shall be
calculated upon Sellers' sale of all the Purchase Shares.

     In the event the Seller does not  receive at least the  Assumed  Value upon
sale of the Purchase Shares, then the Seller shall have the right to request the
Buyer to pay any  deficiency  in  monies  anticipated  to be  received  with the
provision  of thirty days notice by the Seller to the Buyer.

                                       4
<PAGE>


If the Buyer  fails to pay within the thirty day notice  period  then the Seller
shall have the right to  terminate  this  Agreement  and receive back all of the
Shares and assets of the Company as if the transaction  reflected herein had not
occurred.

     (d)  Closing.  The  closing of the  transaction  provided  for herein  (the
"Closing")  shall take place at the offices of the Buyers counsel on December 1,
1998,  or at such  other  place and date as may be agreed  upon by the Buyer and
Seller.

2.  Representations  and  Warranties of the Seller.  The Seller  represents  and
warrants to the Buyer as follows:

         (a) The Company is a corporation  duly organized,  existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Florida.

         (b) The Company has no subsidiaries or other affiliated corporations.

         (c) All of the issued and outstanding  capital stock of the Company has
been  validly  issued  and  is  fully  paid  and  nonassessable;  there  are  no
outstanding options, warrants, or rights to purchase any of its capital stock or
assets;  the  Company  has not in any manner  altered or amended  its charter or
articles  of   incorporation   since  it  filed  its  original   Certificate  of
Incorporation.

         (d) The Seller represents and warrants that the Company is the sole and
absolute  owner of the assets  attached  hereto as Composite  Exhibit "A";  such
assets are free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or restrictions on sale and
has complete power, right and authority to sell the same.

         (e)  The  Seller  has  furnished  to  the  Buyer  financial  statements
consisting  of the balance  sheet of the Company as of December 31, 1997 and the
statement  of income for the twelve  months then ended,  and  certified  balance
sheet and profit and loss  statement as of December  31,  1997,  copies of which
financial  statements are attached hereto as part of Composite Exhibit "A." Such
financial  statements  are correct and complete and present fairly the financial
position of the  Company.  The Company has also  furnished  to Buyer  income tax
(state and federal and franchise  tax) returns for the last two years and Seller
represents that they are true and correct.

         Since the time period  covered as reflected  by Composite  Exhibit "A",
there  has not been any  material  adverse  change  in the  financial  position,
business,  or  properties  of the Company  other than  changes in the normal and
usual  course of its  business.  The basis for income tax purposes of all assets
set forth in the balance sheet of the Company as reflected in Composite  Exhibit
"A", does not materially vary from the amounts at which such assets are shown by
such balance sheet.

         All tax returns and reports of the Company required by any governmental
agency or the laws of Florida and any other jurisdiction in which the Company is
qualified have been duly filed and all taxes assessments upon or measured by any
of the  properties,  franchises,  income or receipts

                                       5
<PAGE>


of the Company have been audited by taxing officials as set forth in Exhibit "B"
and no deficiencies  have proposed as a result of such audit which have not been
paid.

       (f) Exhibit "C" hereto attached contains a listing and description of all
leases under which the Company is presently either lessor or lessee,  including,
as part of such  description,  term,  expiration  date,  rental,  and renewal or
purchase  privilege.  The Company represents that it is in full force and effect
and that no default,  or breach,  has occurred  which would make said  Agreement
unenforceable. All leases are to be prorated based on the date of closing.

       (g)  There  are  no  actions,  suits  or  proceedings  pending  or to the
knowledge of the Seller or the  Company,  threatened  against or  affecting  the
Company  or any of its  properties  at law  or in  equity  or  before  or by any
federal, state municipal or other governmental  department,  commission,  board,
bureau,   agency  or  instrumentality  which  involve  the  possibility  of  any
judgement, liability or order which may result in any material adverse change in
the business, operations,  properties, assets or liabilities of the Company, and
the Company is not, to the knowledge of the Seller or the Company, in default in
respect  of any  order,  injunction  or decree  of any  court or any  government
instrumentality.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  there is a  lawsuit  pending
between the  Company  and Skinner  which  Seller  shall  continues  to take full
responsibility  for in terms of  litigating  said costs,  any  judgments  and/or
awards and all costs and fees associated therewith.

       (h) The Company owns outright and  absolutely  all  properties and assets
reflected on its books at the date hereof as being owned by it, including assets
in the ordinary  course of business,  and other than is disclosed in Exhibit "D"
hereto,  subject to no liens,  mortgages or  encumbrances  of any kind except as
noted in Exhibits "A" and "D."

       (i) Except as set forth in Exhibit "E"  attached  hereto,  the Company is
not a party to any written or oral contract which would affect the assets of the
Company.

       (k) All  notes  and  accounts  receivable  of the  Company  are valid and
enforceable  against a maker or  debtor,  as the case may be,  for the  original
principal amount or unpaid balance and for an aggregate amount at least equal to
the  amount of such  notes and  accounts  receivable  shown in  Exhibit  "A" and
provide for any losses which may be sustained on realization of the receivables.
To the best  knowledge  of the Seller and of the  Company,  no maker of any such
note and no debtor  owing any such  account  is  insolvent  or unable to pay the
amount owing to the Company.

       (1) The Company has not since the date of Exhibit "A" attached  hereto(i)
issued  or  agreed  to issue any  stock,  bonds or other  securities,  including
securities convertible into stock, except the capital stock issued and now owned
by the seller; (ii) declared or made any payment or distribution to shareholders
or  purchased  or redeemed  any shares of its capital  stock;  (iii)  mortgaged,
pledged  or  subjected  to lien,  charge  or any other  encumbrance,  any of its
assets;  (iv) suffered any damage or loss,  whether or not covered by insurance,
materially  affecting its property or business;  (v) sold or transferred  any of
its assets  except in the ordinary and usual course of its business as conducted

or other person any extraordinary compensation or bonus, or increased the salary

        (m) There are no provisions in the Articles of  Incorporation  or Bylaws
of the Company, or any agreements to which the Company or the Seller is a party,
which prohibit, limit, or otherwise affect the right, power and authority of the
Seller to execute this Agreement or to consummate the transactions  contemplated
thereby.

        (n) As of the  execution of this  Agreement,  the Seller and the Company
will  give or cause to be given to the  Buyer  and to its  representatives  full
access during normal  business hours to the properties  owned by the Company and
to the books, records, contracts and the documents of the Company, and they will
furnish or cause to be  furnished to the Buyer all  information  with respect to
the  business  affairs and property of the Company as the Buyer may from time to
time reasonably request and as maybe related to the terms of the Agreement.

        (o) Except as otherwise  provided herein,  the Company will carry on its
business in substantially the same manner as heretofore, cause its properties to
be maintained  and kept in good  condition,  repair and working  order,  keep in
force and effect each and every lease,  agreement  and  insurance  comparable in
amount and scope to coverage now  maintained  by it, and use its best efforts to
maintain and preserve its business  organization intact, which has been approved
by the Buyer in its "as is" condition.

        (p) The  warranties and  representations  of each of the parties to this
Agreement and the indemnity provisions hereof shall survive the date hereof, and
the consummation of the transactions  contemplated  herein,  notwithstanding any
investigation  or examination made for or on behalf of the parties hereto or the
acceptance by the Buyer of any  certificate  or opinion  furnished in connection
with this  transaction.  The Seller shall  indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer
against any loss,  damage or expense,  including,  but not limited to, legal and
other fees, for taxes,  interest,  assessments and penalties thereon of any kind
or  nature,  for  any  period  prior  to the  date of  this  Agreement,  and any
retroactive  insurance premiums incurred or sustained by the Buyer, or any loss,
damage or expense as a result of or  attributable  to any  misrepresentation  or
breach of warranty  by the Seller and  against any such loss,  damage or expense
which  would  not  have  been  incurred  or  sustained  by  the  Buyer  if  such
representations and warranties had been true and correct.

3.  Representations  and  Warranties  of the  Buyer.  The Buyer  represents  and
warrants to the Seller as follows:
