[limpet chicken]

Hey guys, I have run into somewhat of a loose end here, I am in need of two things, some better lab glassware, which shouldn't be TOO hard to obtain, and strong reducing agents.

Could someone point me in the right direction to a decent chemical supplier, that sells to individuals, as many now do not, and takes Solo card, I do not have a credit card you see, and Solo is my only means of payment, I have yet to find a supplier that accepts this card, with the exception of a few pool/photography chemical suppliers.

Preferably a supplier based in the UK would be a nice thing too, because of shipping charges, as I am what most people would describe as poor because I am currently not working, and paying for my hobby out of a crappy £80 something a fortnight

I would REALLY appreciate some help for this, I am at somewhat of a loose end, a great number of things I can prepare myself, given some effort or refine from OTC sources.

The only reagent I am actually in need of and cannot synthesize are the metal hydride reducing agents. The only thing I need to order is some LiAlH4, and I cannot find it ANYWHERE

If anyone has such a source, and doesn't wish to post it publicly, for fear people that may lack the nescessary safety knowledge to handle LAH and such hydrides, you can PM me or email me at datavamp@hotmail.com

I will be eternally grateful for any help.

That chemical company doesn't ship to individuals

I can't use the glassware company, as I only have solo card, its a debit, not credit card,but my gratitude for going to the trouble of finding those.

You can buy 10g LAH from here with a Paypal account (which you can register your Solo card with). It costs €35 and shipping is €25.

That chemical company doesn't ship to individuals

Cole-Parmer does actually ship to individuals (or I faked being a 'small business'- can't remember), they sell thousands of chemicals (including LAH @ £31/10g), but some of their glassware like beakers is sold in packs, not individually. As for payment- you can pay by cheque. I am not sure about their shipping prices though.
