Hi Robert. I think you will be amazed at what you can buy from gardening centers, petrol stations, bunnings and super markets. Certainly enough to make a large bang. Iodine is a bit tricky to get hold of nowdays due to its use in the manufacture of a certain illicit drug but other stuff is freely available. I recently waltz into a chemical supplier and bought some 98% H2SO4 with no questions asked. I need it to set up an anodising line at home and true I could have got it at school. They also seemed keen to supply me with other chemicals I needed again no questions asked. I doubt they would sell it to kids but it's a little scary considering I might have been a terrorist and there are so many ways to make things go boom.
