I have emailed labpak to ask if they have stock of potassium perc and i will email them again to ask about titanium powder. what mesh are you looking for? also try ebay, sometimes metal powders can be found there. what devices do you intend to make, effects or mg salutes? k

'what will you use it for box' i put 'to show family members interesting chemical reactions.' does anyone else think telling the truth is worthwhile?


Spose that is close to the truth... I have always told that it is for pyrotechnic experimentation - dont think you can get any more truthful than that.
We work and play in an idustry where un truths tend to not be tolerated and can have far reaching consequences.

If mailordering I generally ring up and quote my Creditcard number at them.

If I remember I'm low on anything when I'm in Reading I generally just pop in and pay in person in the normal way.

Dont those prices make you wince?...?49 kilo for Potassium perchlorate? Visco at ?4 per meter?.. Strontium nitrate ?45 kg? :angry: Amonium perchlorate ?69!!!! Kg.. :angry: :angry: magnalium ?45 Kilo AAARRRGGHHHH!!!!.. at those price a 6 " shell would cost a fortune to make...

I paid that type of money last year when i first started in pyro...and it really pisses me off..

I would hope that at those prices it was a safe investment but only purchase from them if you know of some one actually getting the stuff from them...What chemicals are you actually after?
