And when the OP finds some ammonia, let us know where you bought it
from. I went down this route some time ago, only to be told that it is
now a controlled substance.

Noted and saved. It was the chemist that said they couldn't supply me
with it. Until I read the post below, I wasn't even aware that there
were two types.

Many thanks to both posters.

Yes but at the end of the day, a chemist is just another "bloke said".
I wanted some IPA to try and clean a circuit board. Went into boots
and was given this massive lecture about how it was now banned etc
etc ... went to Maplins and bought 2L of it, no questions.

A pub or off-licence might be a better source of IPA.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India_Pale_Ale

hopefully not for the IPA we're on about ......
