Homebrew PCBs

Yes, it is dangerous and it could be home brewed- YMMV

MG Chemicals MSDS shows it is stannus sulfate, sulfuric acid, and as I
recall, it is mixed with water for the balance.

CAS# Chemical Name Percentage by weight ACGIH TWA Osha Pel Osha Stel
7488-55-3 Stannous Sulfate 1-3 % N/E N/E N/E
7664-93-9 Sulfuric acid 9-10 % 0.2 mg/m3 N/E N/E

I would recommend getting it from a known source pre-mixed for the intended
purpose.
