Mostly OTC chems, though some I wouldn’t really call OTC like KNO3. There’s also the option of make your chems to which I have done a few times. There is a lot of space but still no good for pyro as it illegal to own, buy or make pyro and there’s always a house some where nearby. Oh and being so dry in the summer months puts me out of action.

so how do you manage finding chems, rocket!, ps at least youve got plenty of space to test

KNO3 is easy to come by in large bags at a fertilizer supplier, sulfur and charcoal can be easily obtained so that gives you bp which can make a lot of fun things.

Anything else has to be either home made or imported from the UK/EU/UK which sucks due to customs and high shipping prices. But that hasn't stopped me
As for shooting stuff, there is a lot of space 10 mins out of town so im safe in that regard.

Fuse is the hardest thing to get, blackmatch is fine but you cant beat visco for reliability and safety, luckly there is a bloke in the USA who doesnt mind looking over the shipping regs and ships visco worldwide. Its shipped very well and its declared as PVC cord so i guess it gets overlooked by customs (get caught and your f****)

To all nonbelievers forumwide: I've just picked my second package from Mr.Lukasz containing German Black and MgAl. They came packed in tight plastic bottles, no spills, no damage at all. Well, there is a small catch – the package should have contained Copper(II)Oxide too but for some reason it hasn't. I notified Mr. Lukasz and now I'm waiting for his reply. Somehow, I have no doubt about receiving it later...

Oh, btw.
KeteN's chemicals are exellent except his nitrocellulose lacquer which i think he has bouht in a supermarket or so.
Looks like a kind of floor lacquer.
It's in one of those small tin cans. I tried to pour a bit out on a metal sheet and dry it, it doesn't burn very well and it wont come of the metal plate unlike my homemade.

Just wanted to warn you about it.

I have a tin of this from him and diluted in acetone is absolutely fine for dragons eggs, i have had several perfect batches using this.

I think that a larger proportion of us are coming round to the idea of Keten being a good supplier. I hope infact to be placing an order with him for the third time soon!

[Nostromo]

Same here really. Need some other chems still which I didn't have the money for last time. It'll be my fourth order so far from him.

Hi all!

This is just a short addition to my previous post - the Copper(II)Oxide that I thought was missing, in fact has been sent in bigger package along with other compounds which comes to me through private channels.
All in all, as far as I'm concerned, Keten does a good job, service is quick and reliable while Lukasz is very easy guy to talk to.

Hello,

I'm not from the United Kingdom or the United States and my English is very bad. I gonna place a post here because I've some experience with Keten. I ordered already two times and two weeks after my payment I received my parcel, the parcel came on two days after the shipment from Poland. I've also already orderd and paid a second time by Keten, I hope the parcel will arrive at my home tomorrow or one of the following days. I think Lukasz from Keten is a very friendly en very helpful guy but the last days he didn't replay on my e-mails. The 20th of August he said he wont be back the 24th August but he didn't replay on my e-mails the last days. So I hope he'll help me and send an e-mail.

P.S. : Sorry for my bad English.

/Edit/

Today, I've called with him with his mobile phone and he has replied on my e-mail directly. I find it's very nice to do business with him.

Yes in my expirience Keten is a nice guy to do buisness with, but you got to be patient.
I ordered two times from him and both times the ordered products arived, the second time took a little longer but that wasn't his fault.
The transport company made a mistake: My postcode ends with AT so by mistake they shipped it to Austria

I just looked at his site, and he has some new copper compounds, like CuOCl !!!!! copper oxicloride if I'm not mistaken!!!
Have been looking for this chemical for ages, I think i will make a order with him in the near future

Seems like Lukaz has cleaned up his act recently. Maybe he finally figured that keeping him in business requires some customer service too.

[MMMMMM Pyro]

He has CuOCl on his site?! Are we looking at the same webpage?!

Regards,

Mike

[johndee]

CuOCl is listed on his site as coming soon.

[marble]

I think its time i made a order then

[Pyromans]

You can all the times ask for some other chemicals. On his site he has only the promotions. I asked already for Parlon, charcoal (willow) and magnesium powder in sizes from 500mesh and 800mesh because in the past he had these but now he has only an alloy from 500-800mesh. I need a lot of parlon but he hasn't it now... If there is anyone here who can sell me some parlon... I had already two contacts with him (SMS) and he replied all the times directly. Is there anyone here with expirience about his rocket tools and star pumps? Because I want to buy some rocket tools from him. I know the prices are a little bit hughe but all the other companies have a lot of shipping costs.
