[TheForge] Finding Lye etc. (OT) Now Finding Nitric

[Lynn Emrich]

Not to hijack this thread but I need some Nitric Acid.
I know there's a place in Miami (I live in West Palm
Beach and am too cheap to pay the high shipping) that
sells to schools but Google can't help find it. 

I want the Nitric Acid to make 'Aqua Regia' to engrave
my knives. A teacher gave me a small amount at the end
of the school year last year. It works great for
engraving my signature on carbon or stainless. 

I made a resist using bees wax and Asphultium
(apparently an old paint additive), sign with a blunt
brass rod, a few drops made for a great signature. 

I've been working with a sculptor and when I used it
for him the acid had lost it's power. Sorry for the
rambling post but I thought you would like to know why
I want the nitric.

I'm also going to Atlanta next week so if you know of
a supplier in that area let me know.

Thanks for your help,
Lynn
