does ammonia have another name? is it sold as a cleaner under a brand name?


Chemicals cant really be bought in the uk, unless you go to a bulk
industrial supplier, who want paperwork just to sell water...........

Its like what you americans call 'lye'(caustic soda), you cant buy it
off the shelf here etc, IPA, drugstore only (chemist) and then its 20
questions to see why you want it and if you can get more than 20ml you
have won a the grand prize.

I dont know why our country is like this, its ''health and safety'' rules mad.

Only solvent I can buy in a bottle is methlated spirit, then its got a
blue dye in it that tastes awful to stop the bums drinking it instead
of french wine.

Uk inksuppliers, PC world or cheap clone cartridges from the likes of
'inkrite' etc so all dye based.

Its like living on an island..........
