Hi,
Just googled the word salfuman (HCL in Spanish).
It is available no problem. But.... what's with the insane prices ?!!!

I never really considered going to Mexico for chemicals, even though it's just a three hour drive to the border for me. Getting into Mexico and buying
chemicals would be the easy part though. Driving back across the border with a car full of chemicals would be the real tricky part...

sounds like a legit concern but I do live in mexico for a while and have no intentions to drive the chemicals back to the USA.
I guess most 'sell it all' chemical stores in mexico dont have a webstore,
you need to make them out in your city and pay them a visit?

and don't have a website why not just visit them and buy there directly? Don't you wanna verify the chemicals' genuinity and avoid the shipping fees
and time eh?

Well I dont know I just tried to answer your first question.
Yes, HCL is available (but apparently you knew that already).
It's the outrageous prices that I supposed would surprise you. A few dollars /l in the US and 65 in Mx ? wtf?!

Perhaps these are listed in Pesos?
I'll check.......................
Whoa! The peso isn't what it used to be. About 20 to the Dollar nowadays.
It used to be consistently either 8 or 12. I don't remember which......
OK, I checked again (it wasn't easy to find); for a very long time, the price was fixed at 12.5 pesos per dollar. The peso was 8 cents.
