Oh, then let me put it that way:
I just decided i do not really need sulphuric acid and H2O2 etching ;-).

However i plan to get a good scale (can't find a hydrometer) and some tools
for measuring the ph for the HCl H2O2.

Any good ideas how to make a working hydrometer?
(Or sorces for buying one in the needed range in europe? (oh yes, cheap
please)
i also have no good scale and want
one for some time now, but they are so expensive. i try to get a used
lab scale at ebay... if i can use a hydrometer in the meantime this would
be nice.

well, i will stick with my chemicals shop... the 35% was some ??? 4 eur or
so for 1l.
(i do not know what he charges for the bottle, it is included, but you can
have it refilled.)
He had the pool stuff too, i forgot the name, but it is lower
concentration and was not cheaper.

Find such a shop and you will never go for wood bleach again... Or visit
Vienna in the
holidays and go shopping ;-) (i have no idea what the customs people will
do to you ;-) )
