Where can I get?!

[pvitity]

Hey guys, I'm a newbie around here so be kind! I've spent these last days "studying" the Q21Q21 guide, but I still have a few questions. First of all, I live in a place that, 100% sure, won't have Calcium Hydroxide nor Naptha.

Is this a reliable lime? Regarding the Naptha, can I get a petrol-lighter fuel (like the Zippo one) to achieve the same objetive as the VM&P Naptha? And last but not least, a normal vinegar should do the trick, right?

Thanks in advance and congrats for this kickass community!

Edit: Guys, check my latest post regarding the white destilled vinegar. I ended up buying Kalkwasser and Ronansol Lighter Fluid.

If this is your first time your better off doing a STB tec.
Its easier and youll just need to find lye and solvent, zippo fluid will work for the solvent. And i know you can find lye somewhere in london. If not order it off the net...

Search for Sodium Hydroxide on the 'bay it's not a watched item in Europe so it's fine.

As for the solvent, I use octane.
It's sold at gas stations and supermarkets. It's used for removing grease of parts and clothing.

Psyren, thanks for your response but I do prefer to do an A/B as I already have Calcium Hydroxide.

By the way, I ended up buying Ronansol Lighter Fluid. As soon as I get it, I'll test if it leaves any type of residue. I shouldn't have created this topic because finding Naptha and Calcium Hydroxide was a matter of searching more.

But, since I created, where the heck can I find destilled white vinegar? I live in Portugal and I've gone to every supermarket and grocery shop. It simply doesn't exist! I've also searched on eBay, Amazon and so on and it's the same, can't find it! It's quite expensive the ones I get, like, more than 25€.

What do you guys think about this one? Does anyone have a suggestion? It's the only thing that I can't get..
