Alternative for lime sulphor
I am not able to find lime sulphor in
the stores in Croatia. Is there any alternative for it? 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. Sebastian Poland - Europe http://www.bonsai.com.pl/akademia.html |
