Re: More questions

Hi David -- I was surprised too. Some of Nymoc's prices (they don't
have a catalogue that I know of, and no Web presence, so you have to
call them to ask about each chemical you're interested in) are about
double what JD Photochem charges, at least for small quantities.

I did get some free soap samples, though.

Any Toronto area people who want to go in on some larger quantities or
save on shipping from JD Photochem, just let me know.
