Re: Vitamin C solution

There is a vitamin C powder available, then you just dissolve a little bit in water, worked well! It didn't cost much, about $20-25 at the chemist. I don't need my jar any more, teachers decided to do something different :redcard: so I could send to you?

Re: Stannous Nitrate

Laugh at the teacher asking for it, reminding him that you do live in FNQ, and such things tend to take a bit more time than a mere week :-) Then to show him/her/it what a wonderful miracle worker you are, you could contact other schools in cairns or even JCU and beg on bended knees to lend you some...

Re: Sodium Dichromate for cleaning glassware

Have you tried using napisan? I find that it works really well. Sometime you just have to leave it to soak for a few days and then it is good to go!
