What does 1% tritable iodine mean. Tried to extract and it formed less than a pinch and turned yellow.  Any advice?

you would need 5 gallons of that shit to get any decent return. There is always ebay, just dont send it to your house(or where lab is).
 CHECKED THE LOCAL FEED STORE ?

I'm quite suspicious of those newer Canadian based suppliers who _only_ sell Iodine at online auctions. It just doesn't seem logical for a chem supplier to be that specific in the range of what items they sell.

One of them now claims that your identity will remain private with them too.

Somehow I just don't believe them.

try to get the 7% stuff, it ususally comes by the pint at vet stores.

In regards to the I2 from auction sites, swin ordered some awhile back for other - legal - purposes and hasn't had any trouble since, except the price. Tincture is wayy cheaper (for swin) and would tend to arouse less suspicion me thinks

I got a gallon of what I have from the feed store, I saw the 7% pints there, too.  I guess I thought that bigger was better.  How much I2 should come out of the 7% pints?

7% of the solution by weight, probably just over an ounce. UTFSE and do a search on Rhodiums site for lots of info.
