Paul, do you live in Colorado or California?   Most places in Texas where
chemicals are sold carry this kind of merchandize and one is free to buy
them...In quantity you may raise eyebrows but Texas is still a free country!

Thats some serious stuff.
I know a long time ago 30+ years you could buy all sorts of things for the
amateur chemist.
Especially if you lived in a farm region.
Its funny how things have changed. Everything is so dangerous these days.
I will say I needed sulphuric acid for a large battery set and after a big
run around I did finally find a auto store that sold a gallon for $2.50.
Three X more then I needed but what the heck.
But my goodness what type of store are you talking about. Thats some serious
stuff depending on the concentration.
Regards
