But, if I myself couldn't get nitric, here in the US.. I would go to a local tool store, farm store, or another place that has lots of fertilizer options.
I would then look for a fertilizer called nitrate of soda (sodium nitrate, NaNO3).
If i could not find that, I would try to find a stump killer that has a composition of potassium nitrate (KNO3)
Then I would try to find sulfuric acid (battery acid [low concentration of H2SO4] or drain cleaner thats in a bottle, inside its own bag. [its 98% sulfuric]) to make my own, with lazersteves cold method. Then after much study, I may take the leap to distill my own, should I have the proper safety setup (..I, do, but.. I'm being hypothetical here..)
Or-
Research on using the metal nitrate salt directly with HCl (search "poor man ar")
This is if for some reason I could not in any way, shape, or form get good nitric, which would be terrible...
thanks for the answer this is exactly the sort of answer I was looking for. thanks to all who repliedTopher_osAUrus said:Well, your last thread got sidetracked because of the legal question that was raised.
