Stores in/near buffalo
Hi guys,
I was planning a trip with a friend to get some chemicals from hardware stores and such from Buffalo that aren't as available/cheap in Canada. Does
anyone know the area/anywhere nearby that has any good stores? Obviously I'm looking for things that are innocuous, like stump removes i.e. copper
sulfate / sodium metabisulfite. (Nothing that would cause trouble at the border.) Maybe even potassium permanganate if possible. Any suggestion would
be great. Thanks.

There's probably an Ace Hardware near there. They're good for a lot of solvents and some acids and bases.

Try fish/pet stores for potassium permanganate (aka Condy's crystals, permanganate crystals, etc.)
Copper sulfate is horrifically expensive from hardware stores IMO... then again, I have better OTC access than most. Pure H2SO4, HCl, NaOH and others
all within my hometown.

Thanks guys, I'm just not familiar with the stores in America.
Also wow, that's really lucky. Pure H2SO4 as in *not* drain cleaner? I have access to HCl, NaOH and drain cleaner sulfuric acid so I'm ok on that
front. It's just a few other things like bisulfites that are less common. I think with shipping and everything the copper sulfate online would be more
expensive than if I went to get it locally, but I guess I'll see the prices.
