A MOST WONDERFUL SITE
I have found a wonderful site for the acquisition of supplies. Their prices arent all that wonderful, but they do have things you cannt get
elsewhere. (Due to the fact that this company was intended for use by schools.) The only downside to this is they wont ship chemicals of any sort to
private individuals, but if you can get a teacher (if you have to go to school like me...) to agree to have the chemicals shipped to them, (you give
the teacher the money, tell them what you want, and let them do the rest...I love my teacher ) A positive thing to that however, is no one will ever know its you that the chemicals are going to, EXCEPT your
teacher. (THANK GOD FOR TEACHERS!!) Well anyway the site is
www.freyscientific.com
I hope everyone out there can come to some benefit by using this site....

Look in the FAQ...
...for some sites that have good prices and will sell to individuals. Although I'm sure people who have teachers to help them may benefit from your
contribution as well.

It's too bad that your teacher won't place orders for you, but people have already named several suppliers (in this thread and others) that sell to
ordinary individuals. You don't need to resort to theft.

Stealing under your circumstances is despicable. You're reducing the ability of many to learn about chemistry so you have can have an advantage. Very
selfish. Save your money and stop stealing - get used to the fact that this can be an expensive hobby.

Teachers become a lot less trusting when stuff starts disappearing, and that poisons the learning environment; they'll be a lot less likely to allow
students to do independent learning, and so on.
NERV, why not just ask your teacher if you can do some experiments under his supervision after school? If you're just making explosives, and don't
care about chemistry, then obviously you won't be able to satisfy your desires that way, though.

You guys took me all wrong, I don’t barrow stuff very often. I only do it when I am really desperate for chem equipment. I know its not the best way
to go, but for me it’s the only way sometimes. I usually prefer to buy my own things with my own money. Allot less risk despite the cost. I don’t
think my teacher would allow me to do experiments even with her there, she is very uptight. When my mom told her I was into chemistry she said that
she didn’t think it was a good idea for a kid my age to be “playing” with chemicals.
Madscientist, my interest is not entirely in Explosives. I do admit that is a big part of it, but chemistry is what really got me into it. I admit
that I am not all that good in chemistry yet but I am learning. Chemistry is what truly fascinates me. The ability to make one amazing thing out of
just a few useless things.

When I was a kid I used to look up an ordinary dictionary for explosives and on finding the words lyddite, melinite, nitroglycerine, trinitrotoluene
and dynamite, I'd salivate over the words themselves.... Sad!.. But a long time ago.
I'd like cracking acetone into acetic acid.
paraformaldehyde and ammonium nitrate are easily got where I live.

aquisition of material
NERV I do not condone stealing in any way, but I totally understand where you are coming from. Fifteen years ago I was EXACTLY in the same
predicament. My Chem teacher decided not to order chemicals for me. This was the 1980's and there was no internet, so it Took me a year of
searching before I found mail order suppliers. I feel bad for all the
administrative assistants at all the Chem distribution centers that I called for infromation. Some of them did not know what to think about a young
punk like me calling them for acids and such. ![:o](./images/smilies/shocked.gif) Boy I sure was naive then. What made it harder is my parents where not very
supportive either so I was truly flying blind. If everything else fails, then try to find an adult mentor. If you cannot do it at school or home,
then go to your local university, but let on to your true intentions until you got total confidence in your contact.
Good luck

A canadian site
If you are interested in obtaining chemicals, try the site below. He is located in Canada, accepts cash, International money order, etc, and will not
ask you any questions at all regarding your intentions. His prices are very good, and he has a very *interesting* list of chemicals.
I have never ordered from this guy, but I know people that have and they say that he is very realiable. I actually spoke to him in a few emails and he
told me that he ships around 50 orders per week to the US with no problems at all.

I've ordered some things from that guy. He was sorta my secret source for rather "unique" chemicals. Oh well, I suppose it was about
time it was shared. He was very nice. I got 5 pounds of KMnO4, it was off ebay so it was much cheaper than it should have been. Shipping
wasn't bad seeing as how it was shipped from canada. Over all I ended up paying US$26 or so. He accepts american money, so that sure save me
some hastle.
This isn't the best guy to get things from if you don't want someone who may come accross the package to not know what activities you are
enganged in. It clearly says "photographic chemicals" on it. I suppose if they just think you do your own photography it isn't bad,
but if they have sneeking suspicions of other activities and they see the word "chemical" they might get a few more ideas.
