I've just thought, that it would be wise to remove his email address. If some idiot sees that and orders from him, and then, well you get the picture.

No, because it's mean for gardening, for use in foods you need food grade which is i think atleast 99.9%, garden stuff comes to around 99% pure.

As in sprinkled directly on food?! I wouldn't reccomend it to be frank, (according to one of Skylighters' newsletters its kinda like anti-viagra!)

But for growing food with, i.e. as fertiliser, yes you could use it for that.

Not without some serious purification, even then I would avoid it.

Hi all my potassium perchlorate supply is running low and I was wondering if there were any suppliers other than inoxia based in the UK (parents not too keen to hand over photocopies of passports or birth certificates ect), I bought my last lot from Lab Chemicals Supplys LTD but they no longer exist. Any help would be much appreciated.

concept: No need to for your folks to worry - I know that the founders of Inoxia are trustworthy and well versed in data protection. They are not allowed to release your personal info without a court order, so faxing them a copy of a driving license etc. is reasonable if they are selling you oxidisers. Inoxia is a good (and fully legal) choice for buying chems in the UK.

One new European supplier to add, with a good range of metal powders:

I've read recommendations on Passfire but not yet tried them myself.

My recommendation of Heisse Eisen on Passfire came second hand from APC, where a couple of people did order and were quite satisfied: http://www.apcforum....?showtopic=2421

I've just come by a source of conductive carbon black. Sensible price but minimum order 5 kilos.

Anyone want to share a bottle of mess
