Want to Buy [WTB] Metol

[fdonadio]

Subject pretty much says it all. Looking for Metol...

100g should be OK, but since it would be shipped from abroad (unless some fellow Brazilian has some to spare, which I highly doubt it), I guess it would be better to get half a pound (around 200 to 250 grams). If the price is right, a metric crapload would be nice!

Yes, I could buy from the Formulary or B&S, but I guess I should take a shot here before I buy from one of them. Some people have drums of this that they won't be able to use in two or three lifetimes!


Cheers,
Flavio

I found mine on ebay from a Polish supplier to myself, in the UK.

Thanks, guys... Since no one offer to sell directly to me, I will be looking into larfe’s and Terry’s suggestions.

Not too surprising. Most of us have no idea how to sell and ship internationally, duties, customs, hazmat, etc.

I only buy as much as I need from suvatlar.de in Hamburg;a very reliable resource with good prices and reasonable shipping

Metol is not classified as hazmat. Customs and duties are charged directly to me by the Brazilian govt. it’s pretty much a car of “pack it well enough, put it in a box and drop it at the post office.

There’s this company in the UK that larfe pointed me to. I could also get some Metol from the Formulary and take the opportunity to get some phtalated gelatine too.

That’s a good idea. I have bought stuff from Mr. Suvatlar before and service is top notch.

I've no idea what NZ > Brazil shipping is like price wise, but Martin at nzphotochem@gmail.com is a very helpful and knowledge fellow who supplies raw chems down here.

I agree; had the same experience.

Got a pound (half a kilogram) for a little over $70 at Photographers Formulary. The price is incredibly good, compared to Bostick & Sullivan, for example.

None of them had phthalated gelatin, though. Got straight gelatin and will get some phthalic anhydride locally.

Thanks for the tips.
