I need some sulphuric acid, and it's not in any of my catalogues. Where do you buy stuff like that?

Fantastic - the first Google Ad on that page was 'Talk To Frank'.

I'm guessing you'll have major issues importing it, to be honest.

Local chemist.

Have a good explanation and it's cool. As far as I remember, it's not too a controlled substance.

Failing that http://www.sigma.com is good.

What concentration do you require?
I have never tried to buy anything other than through work, but there are a whole host of lab product suppliers. It is a controlled/monitored substance as it is used in drug manufacture and other more trrst style activities, so you may need to answer a few questions.
Or you could use batttery acid, which is about 35% conc.

See, do you still have those? What are they called?
I don't think I do, there's dispensing pharmacies or whatever all over the place, but they just have packets of lemsip and sunglasses and things, I think.

Bobby: 33.5% to be precise, that is what I needs it for :)

Try buying it alongside concentrated nitric acid and a few gallons of glycerine and see how long it is before you get a visit from MI5. That might be a fun project, if anyone fancies something to do in the new year.

I've often wondered what would happen if one were to microwave petrol.

I'd imagine you'd get a much bigger explosion if you got the petrol to boil and vaporise first. To the laboratory!
