Still obtainable, but really hard to find. Larger chemists used to stock it in little tubs, but they've stopped. Same thing happened with gentian violet, which is an amazing fungicide and hydrogen peroxide, which is great for wound cleaning.

They don't stock hydrogen peroxide anymore? It's still quite common here at about $1 for a bottle (16 oz bottle)

I think the problem with a lot of these chemicals is they could (with considerable hard work and great personal risk) be used to make an explosive.

And we all know, in Britain the official doctrine is that anything that could even theoretically be used as a weapon is a weapon and should be banned/restricted/licensed to the point you can't get it any more.

I think that's why they are becoming hard to get a hold of.

Its link to home made terrorist devices made it a big risk, so now only trade can buy it, and in quite weak solutions
