Hi all,I want to do some anodising, and I am trying to locate a source ofsulphuric acid. Battery acid would probably be the easiest way to gethold of it, but all the car part places around me say that they aren'tallowed to stock it any more because it is a restricted substance.Curiously, despite being restricted, I can still buy it mail order andhave it sent to me through the post ( I can I want to avoid the postage charge for mail order (the costof the acid is less than the P+P) so does anyone know of any otherplace that would stock sulphuric acid?thanks,dan.

A plating works, I should think. My next door neighbour is involved with one, and they have it. They also do anodising, and have all sorts of people coming in off the street to have little jobs done, and often, they are able to chuck it in with a commercial job, so payment is a few quid for the tea money jar. If you have such a works anywhere nearby, might be worth you giving them a bell, just to ask ... ??Arfa

Intriguing. I've not heard of doing that before. Does it give a better finish than using boiling water?

thanks,

dan.

Part P does not apply. Everything else might. Not joking.

My old lab assistant thought he was invulnerable too. He died of cancer.

I bought a box of battery acid last week to fill a couple of dry batteries I bought for a classic car.

I bought it from SC parts near Gatwick with the batteries, but they also suggested trying motor bike shops.

They won't supply acid mail order though.

Blimey, I guess if you buy from them its the acid test if they are real or not. I can see the expression on the face of the customs man now...... Brian
