Important UK Sources


To all those in the UK . . .a few hours ago I was in Lidl's, and managed to pick up a liter of xylene isomers for £2.50 as well as some phosphoric acid for rust removal; at the moment in my local store they are having a big clearout on that kinda stuff and it is really cheap. Sure, a distillation or recrystallization or two might be needed for some items, but be sure to have a look in your local store next time you're there.

Yes, I have heard of them and believe that their prices are very good. Anyone know what shipping costs are?

Yea, I saw that and was tempted to buy one. Its meant for cleaning spectacles, watches etc. but they can be useful for cleaning glassware (duh) and sometimes getting dicky solids to go into solution, as per the video below;
