Alternative for lime sulphor
 

I am not able to find lime sulphor in
the stores in Croatia. Is there any
alternative for it?

I have some deadwood that I want to
preserve.

Thanks

Try this:

This is a messy task and MUST be done outside. The following is Dan
Barton's
recipe:

1. Pour 1 1/2 pints of water into a pot and 2 ounces of lime (Hydrated
Garden Lime).
2. Boil these ingredients.
3. Add 3 ounces of sulfur (Flowers of Sulphur) and bring to a boil.
4. When the liquid turns a ghastly color of yellow and brown, it is done.
5. After the liquid cools, you can strain it through fine mesh.

Measure equivalents:

11/2 pints = .8 litre
2 ounces = 57 grams
3 ounces = 85 grams

This recipe works, but you MUST be certain to do this outdoors and avoid
inhaling the vapors. You SHOULD wear a mask.

Doesn't this release lethal hydrogen sulphide gas?
