I've purchased it from CSI mail order for $18.

I got my last Kg from Fry's - it was about $14.  250 grams per liter
of water.  It lasts for probably 15-20 moderate sized boards.  I don't
know if it can be regenerated.  I heat it to about 120 F via a hacked
aquarium heater and "dimmer" control.  I really should build a temp
controller someday...

Because it's clear and doesn't stain, it is 10x better than FeCl.  I
hate that stuff.  Here's a picture of my tank with AP in it.  The
stuff in the bottom disolves when I heat it.
