[QUOTE=Pete P;332661] No-one in this country makes it as the chemicals used are very poisonous and the H&S basically banned it.

Probably easily available from abroad try far East or South Africa
I remember one day for some reason I parked my car at the back of the factory unit that I was working; it was at the far end of the row of units and hence end of the service road too. It was discovered that in one of the empty units; where they used to do bluing/blacking of steel, all the equipment (containing the chemicals) had been abandoned and the proprietors had done a bunk. The fire service considered this so serious that they cordoned off the area and closed down the service road at the back of the units so my car was marooned while they did the full chemical clean up; the road down the frontages (no further away from the stuff in reality) wasn't blocked off and everybody else could go home; I was stuck for hours.
