Steve raised an interesting point namely the availability of the
chemicals we use to do our work. I've expressed my concern to friends
that the events of Sept. 11th might result in governments or companies
limiting the general publics access to certain materials. Has anyone
else on the list experienced any difficulty obtaining chemicals (or
been required to fill out forms before purchase)?
Just curious.
