[TheForge] Nitric acid

[Steve Smith]

I haven't bought from them for awhile, but Hach Chemical was always 
great to deal with. They didn't care if you were a business or an 
individual. My first order they shipped and billed, just as if I had an 
account (buying as individual)!

I think the ferric nitrate is a good solution for you, but fyi they have 
500ml of nitric for $18.60, plus shipping (which could be significant if 
classified as hazardous).
