Re: More questions

I bought my chemicals for VDB from Nymoc, thinking I would save money
by buying locally vs. buying from JD Photochem (I'm in Toronto). In
the end, though, Nymoc ended up being far more expensive than JD
Photochem would have been, even counting shipping.

Guhan, I was planning on placing a JD Photochem order soon for some
silver nitrate and gold chloride. If you're interested in doing a
joint order to save on shipping, let me know!
