This is what I have sourced.

KOH (Potassium Hydroxide flakes) $14 / 5 kgs

Isopropal Alcohol $32 / 5ltrs

Methanol $65 / 50 litres

I'll leave this offer open until Sunday 15th June after which time I will be purchasing - I need 4 people to take 1 batch of each (ie: 5kgs KOH, 5Ltrs Iso, 50Litres Methanol) Collection is at Croydon.

Let me know if you are interested.

Matt
You haven't looked in the right places mate.

Ring Peter at Kemikals in Bayswater - KOH is $44 per 25kg bag. I don't use IPA but he could sell you some of that as well for probably about $4/L

Contact Heathcote Raceway for your MeOH - $220 for a 200L drum.

Don't have phone nos handy but they're easy enough to find.
