Glacial Acetic Acid Story

[Ed Pierce]

This started several years ago...B&H stopped shipping stop bath and Calumet started adding hazmat shipping to the glacial acetic. Last I checked, Calumet still ships Kodak Indicator stop at normal rates.

[Jim Michael]

Gary, the hazmat charges can be volume/weight related, so it may be possible that a quart wouldn't trigger the charge but a gallon would.

Hi Alan,

If you are in a good sized city, go to a chemical supply house. They usually come in 1 gal jugs or 18 gal stainless steel carboys.

The concentrated glacial acetic acid sold for s.b. is serious stuff. My next purchase will be citric acid.

I use citric with a splash of Kodak Indicator Stop, just enough to get some color from the indicator, but not enough to make it too stinky.
