Hi there!



coloured flames and where to buy chemicals to make them etc, is possibly the most commonly asked question on this website. Can I direct you to the search function which appears on the bar next to logout. You should always try doing a search before posting a new topic. If you type in coloured flames then you will find a wealth of information. good luck.

Actually, where to buy them isn't asked very frequently at all. However, it has indeed been discussed before. I'd post a link but for the life of me I can't seem to find it.

Indeed, though i did search (and have done again today) i was (and am) unable to find anything on actually buying the chemicals involved, the faq on coloured flames says 'pottery shops' but living where i do, (manchester) pottery shops don't appear to be all the rage.



So, if anyone know where to buy copper chloride (or any of the other compounds used to make coloured flames could you give me a shout/post below).

My guess would be head to Stoke. Thats where all the potteries are and its hardly far from Manchester.
