For me, the preference of using alum is not because of the difficulty in
obtaining formaldehyde because I believe that no matter how difficult it
is, it should be obtainable for legitimate reason.
My preference is due to the safety of the material although the toxicity
of alum is still questionable. Formaldehyde is so toxic whereas one can
buy alum from a grocery store among the stacks of spices.
