you should look stuff up before you ask around.. ive seen several sellers on ebay selling that stuff lately, but by what i recall for making it yourself its gonna be some large scale, like KMnO4.. its just not really useful in smaller scale, also some organic chemistry into it, and that could go very different than expected, because organic chemistry..

I don't understand those of you who complain that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resorcinol" target="_blank">resorcinol</a> <img src="../scipics/_wiki.png" /> is difficult to obtain or prohibitively expensive. It can be readily obtained on eBay, for a reasonable price. If you think the price is prohibitive, scale down your experiments and stop wasting valuable reagents. Here is a link to a "Buy it Now" style auction from the same USA seller:
