Where can I get thiourea dioxide?

[Don Mills]

I'd like to try some fsa toner as described in Rudman's "Toning Book". Artcraft and PF don't carry it. Any help would be appreciated.

Speedibrews make it - try Silverprint - I don't know if they will ship it out of the UK or not. Just checked - seems to be out of stock at the moment.

Hope this helps,

You get it at Dharma Trading Co. Thiourea Dixoide is a dye remover used in fabric work.

As mentioned by others, look for sites that carry supplies for people working with textiles. You will find that it goes by various names - mine is call Pro Thiox. I got mine from Pro Chemical and Dye http://www.prochemical.com/catalog/auxiliaries.htm
I see it is going for about $11.00 US per pound at this time. They sell it in half-pound size also; unless you are planning to do a heck of a lot of toning, this would probably do you. A little goes a long way.
