Default Where can I buy sulphuric acid?

Hi all,

I want to do some anodising, and I am trying to locate a source of
sulphuric acid. Battery acid would probably be the easiest way to get
hold of it, but all the car part places around me say that they aren't
allowed to stock it any more because it is a restricted substance.
Curiously, despite being restricted, I can still buy it mail order and
have it sent to me through the post (
http://www.getgeared.co.uk/
acatalog/Battery_Acid_1_Litre.html)!

If I can I want to avoid the postage charge for mail order (the cost
of the acid is less than the P+P) so does anyone know of any other
place that would stock sulphuric acid?

thanks,

dan.


Hundreds of old car batteries in scrapyards, just take a washing up bowl,
some strong rubber gloves and a bottle and funnel.
