Here is another good deal. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brenzcatec...-/141991750072

The seller is from Germany. I think you'll probably find a few more options by doing a search using "Brenzcatechin" and probably on ebay.de.

If you guys do make a company, please make sure you buy/sale Glycine too. That thing is super expensive and not easy to source within UK.

Bests,

Ashfaque

Here is a cautionary tale about storing Glycine. Several years ago I purchased 1 pound of glycine from Photographers formulary in the US the plan was to keep half myself and sell the rest. I wrapped my glycine in foil then double plastic bags in one ounce lots. Whilst we were on holiday the wife left the mother in law a key to open the curtains and remove the inevitable pile up of junk mail. To say that the mother-in-law hates my guts is an understatement my only crime has been the fact that I have been happily married to her daughter for over 20 years. Picture this the M-o-Law has a good nosey round and finds my stash of glycine in the freezer. Wow! She's got me, I am a drug dealer! She carefully laid out the glycine on the conservatory table in neat rows next to my balance scales and went home no doubt well pleased with herself. I was abroad for six weeks when I got back the glycine had turned brown, ruined, the air turned blue when I saw it. My wife apologised profusely. No apology from the "battle axe". The mother in law is still convinced I am a drug dealer, we still don't speak which as far as I am concerned is worth every penny I lost when my glycine was ruined.

Good to hear a happy ending for a change

Norm: If you really want up the anti you could drop that old bottle to her door step. :P

My Mother-in-law is quite the opposite. Day before yesterday, I slipped whilst chasing some ducks in their residence - I'm just a 30+ kid. Anyway, this resulted a big gash on my right thumb, skin peeled and a lot of pain. She blames the ducks. Seriously! I guess that's why I married to a woman who is their only child.

If anyone is still in the market for buying and splitting down 500g from Silverprint, I am ready to buy 100g + postage.
I have checked out Wet Plate Supplies, but the postage is pretty expensive even for a UK delivery.
