It will serve you well. You'll have it forever. If you have money for chemicals then you have money for a book. Your spinning your wheels without one. Get a respectable one like Steve suggested.

um, im kinda new here but aren't these prices a bit too expensive ??
i bought a 40kg bag of pure kno3 from a local farming supplies wholesaler for AU$35!! That's the equivalent of 10 pounds! :D
is it maybe that in the uk they have raised prices to try and discourage people from using it in fireworks or something?

Anyway i have had a little trouble in finding kno3 (admins this amount of 3 month trouble deserves this post) , so i would like to ask if anyone could sell me some , i would only need 2 kgs max until i have actually made sucesfull BP and am very serious.

Did you email them at the address on their site? I could not contact them through that address - I just got all my emails returned by the delivery system, saying that the address failed. I may phone them sometime, but I am going to see if I can get a sack full of KNO3 from the feed store next time I buy some chicken food. That way I won't have to pay for delivery. (Presumably GD do charge you for delivery?)

[EDIT] I forgot to mention, there are several other suppliers that will sell Kg quantities over the internet. I have bought from two of them. They are much more expensive that GD for the same quantity, never mind compared to buying it in sacks.
