The Handy Guide to Foraging for Chemicals

Just because you were wondering where you were going to find that one thing you needed for your experiment locally. (If anyone knows a good way to get hold of hydrated copper carbonate, let me know.)

ammonium chloride = soldering flux
ammonium hydroxide = household ammonia
boric acid = roach, ant, & flea killer
calcium carbonate = chalk
calcium sulfate = plaster of paris
magnesium sulfate = epsom salt
sodium bicarbonate = baking soda
sodium bisulfate = Sani-Flush
sodium borate = borax
sodium carbonate = washing soda
sublimed sulfur = flowers of sulfur (homeopathic remedy)
trisodium phosphate = TSP heavy-duty cleaner

copper = cannibalized electric wire
tin = plumbing solder
zinc strips = roof algae preventer

UPDATE: Turns out you can get hydrated copper carbonate in the form of powdered azurite from an icon supplier! I may have to ask around my arty friends and see if anyone can spare a few grams....
