Oxalic Acid

[oldgit]

All I really want is 500g of Oxalic Acid xtals.
Once a case of a few clicks on ebay and free postage.
It is still freely but expensively available online in UK but need to purchase larger quantities and then P&P on top,
Smaller quantities available to apiculturists for pennies in EU............. then the taking back control import taxes on top .

500g available here at a reasonable price.

I would suggest you search and find a good shop that sells wood finishing products. They often sell oxalic acid crystals.

Pity you not here ... I buy 2kg for a few euros ... its sold as Brick / Ceramic / Patio cleaner .... and for 'bleaching' woodstains ...

I asked shop if there any rules and he said none - its freely availble to all to buy for such use. I asked because I've read on other threads on forums like this - claims of EU rules restricting its use.

I think it's readily available here in France too, but I haven't bought any recently as I'm still using the 25kg bag I bought on UK eBay!

UK rules, not EU.

I am aware that UK is not EU ... I live in EU ... so my question was relevant to shop as they also are in EU.

There have been posts in the past sayi9ng EU like UK seriously restricted Oxalic ... probably different rules in EU apply based on what seller is labelling it for ... who knows ..

Anyway - I was just commenting.

Great link, just ordered kg. My previous beekeeping supplier only sells pre-diluted now, apparently a restricted product to professionals only.

I buy mine from Ebay in small quantities and its cheap as chips
