In Sweden boric acid seems to have dissapeared and various online shops like inoxia.co.uk has restricted it to proffesionals only. PyroGarage still
sells it furtunately.
Laborladen.de has the lowest price for iodine but will not sell it to private customers anymore. Etsy is way too expensive. I'll have to use Onyxmet
to get it now.Sir_Gawain - 20-10-2024 at 11:06
This is ridiculous. Boric acid? I sorta understand the iodine, but boric acid is one of the most benign chemicals. I can’t think of anything illegal
you could do with it. Morgan - 20-10-2024 at 12:13
There was this one aspect however small, its use as a visual dilutant. I noticed eBay sells something called magic fishscale that's a glittery flake
and youtube has a few videos of the boric acid in that form. A long time ago someone on the forum asked how to make glittery boric acid flakes and I
fished up some info just out of curiosity but later came to think maybe that's what someone wanted it for and I didn't know of that use at the time. I
can't imagine what else glittery boric acid would be used for. https://www.bluecrestrc.com/common-cutting-agents-used-for-c...Admagistr - 20-10-2024 at 13:12
I think the point is that H3BO3 causes abortions. For younger a person's body is, the more toxic H3BO3 is to them, so it is highly toxic to children.
Iodine, on the other hand, is a known precursor to meth in Europe.BJ68 - 20-10-2024 at 23:17

One source for boric acid is/was borax for blacksmith work. I actually got a couple of kilos for free from a local knife smith as he had switched to a
better flux. Borax can be turned into boric acid with a bit of HClclearly_not_atara - 21-10-2024 at 11:24
Yeah boric acid is a great roach killer so I'm chagrined and bewildered that they'd ban people from buying it. Must be a bunch of cockroaches in
charge of the EU... not that I'm surprised
