Where would I begin to find copper/ferric/nickel/cobalt chlorides? I
finally located the copper sulfate at the farm supply warehouse but don't
know where to begin looking for the others. Plan to use them in raku fuming.
Thanks, Arlene/LA

Radio Shack used to sell a PC Board etching kit that was, in essence, a
plastic tank and a solution of Ferric Chloride. The trick there is that the
copper on the PC Board replaces the iron in the chloride solution, and lets
the iron precipitate out. It leaves a sludge, but who cares- you only want
the solution, not the process. Try Radio Shack or some other wholesale
type electronic parts store.

You can get ferric chloride from your local radio shack for about 3 dollars a
pint. You can also get it from a printer. He would use it to etch his plates
with. I have gotten it from the latter. Its free because they would
otherwise have to pay to dispose of it.
Good Luck
