Jack,
Well dags are alternative, so ur message and my reply are appropriate.
Actually liquid Bromine is not all that easy to get. I bought mine
from a scientific supply company as Prof. Schramm and had it shipped

certain reagents to private citizens.
Now as to the 4 kg. of plutonium I keep in the basement....... well
thats another story. Oops! Sorry CIA, just joking. Really! No really!
