Does anyone know where I can get some Ferric Chloride. Our local radio shack says they can't order any, that they can only hope the main warehouse sends some in their 2 monthly shipments, which they haven't in 2 months. I tried ordering it on line from Radio shack and they said it could only be bought through the store. What a mickey mouse outfit. Any ideas where??

Thanks

Radio Shack has been going to discontinue ferric for 8 or more years now. It's a rumor, I still fine it at different stores and some will order it and some wont.

Powdered ferric can be found online, do a search. I still like the liquid from RS better.
 
Here's a couple sources, Bill.

This one's RS stuff, looks like: ShopNPayless (I've never ordered from this place)

Here's stuff at an art supply we buy from: Dick Blick Tad more expensive.
 
Thanks guys appreciate the quick responses.

Fitz I called Dick Blick and there's sending some right out, Radio shack can forever kiss my Butt.

Thanks again guys,

Bill
 
I bought a pound of crystalline FC on ebay for something like $7. It will make a lot of FC solution.

Dunno how big your city is but try every Shack in your town , some of mine have it and some do not know what it is.
I bought my last bottle in a Shack in a really small mountain town here.
 
Thanks Karl, I'll give them a try when I need to order more.
What grade do you think would work best, the Photo or the tech, or will it matter.

Thanks guys,

Bill
 
I have 3 RS in my area. One does not carry FC, one orders it one bottle at a time and one keeps a case on the shelf. Guess were I shop??
