Anyone know where I can buy this?



Thanks.


You could try somewhere like Reagent

list it, but not cheap (GBP 38 for 500g as it's lab grade purity)

Alternatively a supplier of materials to professional furniture finishers might supply it.

Mylands

it at GBP 6.59 for 500g but it may be less pure

All may be reluctant to sell it to the general public - it's fairly toxic stuff. Not in the cyanide league but fairly nasty.

£1.63 for 100gm or £3.20 for 1kg (ex postage of about £4.00) 99.5% pure.

Loads on e-bay

Anyone know where to buy Oxalic Acid?

Any tips on using it for rust removal?

Thanks

Look on eBay. It is currently being sold there.

Supermarkets - look for "Barkeeper's Friend" in a white plastic, slightly conical, tub.
