Do you mean the 35mm pots the films come in?
If so just go into a few chemists and ask for them - they will happily give them to you as they only throw them away.

hi buckshock we have gone to our usuall scource of the chemists and other film developers but either we have cleaned them out over the years or good old digitial has paved the way for the decline either way we are struggling.

Just in case this helps .....

I've used both the grey and black type and the opaque white type cannisters for this and had good results with both. I've found the best concentration to be a quarter tablet and a quarter depth of water. Using warm water allows for faster CO2 production too. Used to regularly dent the science lab ceiling and get about 20 ft height out of doors!! - the kids loved it!

Don't forget water bottle rockets either; 500ml bottles are very good!


Remember - it IS rocket science!!

No problem Scally. Sounds like the sort of thing all kids should be getting up to in my opinion....
