Where might "locally" be? I have a couple hundred pounds to share in Nebraska.

Re: Types of places to call locally for KOH?

Ya know Normam, I might just try to contact you the next time I am making a run back to/from NW Iowa to visit my folks (from Denver). Even in Denver, I have problems getting KOH because I need a business license to get a good deal (I have used braintan.com to date). I have been able to get a barrel of methanol for ~143 including tax/barrel, and I don't think that is a "great" price either.

I know you posted earlier, but what kind of prices are you paying for KOH and methanol, and are you needing a business license to buy?

Re: Types of places to call locally for KOH?

Here in the Seattle area, I buy my KOH in a 50 pound sack from Tarr Incorporated.

I think their website is www.tarrinc.com or something like that.

I get my methanol from them too, a 50lb sack of KOH cost 48 bucks.

Re: Types of places to call locally for KOH?

just look under 'chemicals' and call all of them. Some are going to be high-grade lab supply places and some will be providers of chemicals to industry.

Here's a thread listing where people get their chemicals:
