Hi guys,

Just thought I'd let you know that I have a few items I need to get rid of as I'm quitting the hobby (i know, i know). I've got about 3kg of Potassium Perchlorate, 1kg Sodium Benzoate, 1kg Red Iron Oxide and about 30kg Kno3 (that would have to be collected, it's in a big drum in my back yard).

I'll accept £10 per kg for perc, 1kg benzoate the same, iron oxide 6 quid and someone can take the kno3 for 15 quid (it comes in a heavy duty drum, no messing about, it even has handles!).

You'll have to make it to my place (ROCHDALE) so email me at drew @t drews-world.co.uk (replace the ' @t ' with an '@') if you would like anything, this email will get me where ever I am.

Regards,
Drew

Finally found a seller who will sell Indian dark flake aluminum for a decent price, $19 USD for 1lb and he ships abroad.

Beats paying nearly $17 USD for 100g :)

My Keten order is on its way! I have a tracking number at last, and so can keep my eye on it :blink:

Thanks Drew.

I hope that you do not forget Pyro and at some point in the future move to a place where it is a bit easier to get some experimentation done.

Phew that was close.

Hello all,

My Keten order arrived today, and was all ship shape.... except for a few tubs unlabeled (but easily identifiable thankfully), and 3kg of dark pyro aluminium was missing. Also, some containers simply had the chemical name written on them in pen, and none of them had any hazard warnings or safety precautions on them! The PVC came in empty drinks bottles, but everything else was in plastic sealed containers. However, it arrived in just over 2 months after placing the order, which could have been much worse..

EDIT: Having contacted him about the missing aluminium, he has realised where he got confused, and is willing to rectify the problem. He has his faults as a business, but I still find him a friendly and helpful guy.

I'm definitely in with a bonus if you're willing to ship that to Canada.

Hello Guys

Having watched for some time what's happening in this particular corner of the Forum, yesterday I decided to order a fair quantity of chems from Mr. Lukasz - i.e. Keten. There are powders worth little more than 350$ in two separate packages. And of course, now I'm eagerly waiting for news...

Blaf

p.s. I'll stoically accept criticysm.

Can that be shipped here?? Or is customs going to take it away?

Guys, this is just to notify you that my package (one of two) has already arrived. It took Mr. Lukasz (Keten) only 3 days to deliver it to designated address in Czech Rep. where it should be transfered to me in two weeks time from. The other one containing metal powders sent directly to me should come in less than a week. What could I say here - in my case, the service is more than quick and reliable so far.

I'll be ordering tomorrow.Yes chris,bit pricey indeed.I'll let everyone know how the package comes (courier hopefully),unless someone else knows ??

Overall it does seem like a good site (apart from the prices) and i think they will do larger quantities of chems,and they've got NH4ClO4 coming soon.

Hello every one! I have not posted in a long while but now I'm back :-)

I allways buy my chemicals from Svenska kemi
I have never had problems when ordering from him. He will deliver to EU. I have visited him a few times in his company to buy stuff and he is really friendly.
But there is only one slight problem and that is that his site is in swedish :-/ but I will be more then happy to translate if you whant me to.

/John
