Perhaps you need introducing to http://www.cpc.co.uk

OK it's mail order but 500g Ferric Chloride pellets will cost you 5.77
quid + p&p.

If you wander round their, other sections, capacitors (1609), resistors
(900), semiconductors (3682) and many other and can make your order 45
quid, p&p is free.

http://www.cricklewoodelectronics.com are also very good especially for
older semiconductors.

http://www.megauk.com will also supply just about anything you need for
making PCBs.

There are a number of others.
