If you're in the Birmingham area, Forbes used to have it, as well as
some other MG chemicals. No idea if they still do.

Check Mouser or Digikey amongst others.

About 15 dollars for 100 ml, and about 30 for 500, or thereabouts. I
got the larger one. Works for me. Number of boards depends on plated
copper size, of course, but I normally do about a 4 ∗ 6 board, double
sided. I'd say roughly at least 50 such boards, but MG chemicals has
the exact data.
