Heavy stuff, compared to water, quick evaporating, unique odor? If so, I have a 7 gallon can, mostly full. I bought it about 10 years ago when it was still readily available. If you want a small amount, about 1 pint, send me a Nalgene bottle, or a quality plastic bottle that won't be attacked by the Trichlor, or a steel can, etc., and I'll send you some back for the cost of postage. Of course, I wouldn't turn down a small donation for my time. I use it mainly for defluxing boards or degreasing/cleaning. Bill Bill Dawson whdawson(a)mlynk.com <mailto:whdawson@mlynk.com> ?

It is not flammable or explosive and if it would happen to leak it will just rapidly evaporate. Besides, in a small quantity it is classified ORM-D. Safest shipping is via UPS Ground in an approved box. Bill Bill Dawson whdawson*at*mlynk.com ? Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

D. Davis Like I posted earlier, ORM-D. This stuff can be shipped UPS as long as the package is labeled properly. It is not corrosive, it is not flammable, it is not explosive. Hell, they ship a lot worse all the time. What do you consider to be the _big_ danger of shipping Trichlor? I have a Class-A CDL with Hazmat endorsement. I know what I am talking about. I sure wouldn't have offered it if I didn't. Bill Bill Dawson <mailto:whdawson*at*mlynk.com> <- Anti-spam protection ?
