Needless to say....
When you get this all going full swing, it'll be the definitive supply for odd DIY tools and accessories. I'm excited.

I see you have quite a few chemicals. I'm getting excited. Whats the Post Office making you do for items like KNO3?
How long til the glutaraldehyde? I want to make sure and save up my folding money.


On a side note:
You might want to put "My Webpage" at the top of your sig line, and perhaps bold it. I clicked several things before I kicked myself and went to the correct link.

I have not received or found any info from the usps about the items except "ground ship only"

Next items im getting are 2" clear pvc should be in soon. also some more clear syringes with bottle korks. then i need to get on the pumps and such.
as far as the glut i have hit a snag at 15% (i think) or above must be shipped refrigerated and i can't afford their crazy prices like $60 shipping plus what ever the glut is. plus its a SURPRISE they just charge your card for shipping so you have no idea the shipping is until after they charge lol. they must just sit back and party with the crazy ship fee's

Is there a local place where hospitals, etc. get their glut, where you could pick up a supply? That would certainly cut the shipping cost.

most hospitals use metricide or similar products. they are a 2.5% glut pre mixed. hospitals are from what i hear trying to use it less also. concentrations above this are used for lab and experiment type stuff. so i have not found a supplier local. i will keep looking but their crazy think im going to pay that much for 100ml of glut. maybe for a barrel lol

FWIW, glutaraldehyde is loosing favor in hospitals due to a perceived inability to kill certain spores. I recently talked to the two OR managers at the hospitals where I operate and they stopped using it a couple of years ago.

It's still available from medical supply companies, but they don't generally sell to the public. Lots of clinics are still using it.

To gauge some interest.

I recently was setting up my pico and wanted to use ADA aquasoil. Now i was doing a 3x3" and didn't have much need for 9 liters. I was thinking maybe breaking substrates into 1 pound bags for nanos would be cool like black flourite, red flourite, amazonia, white sand, river sand, etc. would anyone be interested in that? probably around $2-$3 a pound depending on what it cost me. Just an idea.
