Yes aware that Vanbar is supposed to be able to supply both chemicals, but unless somebody has order a heap of it I think you be waiting a while.

You are probably right, my order for 200gms of Pyrocatechin placed in August is yet to be completed......(!)
No wander Australian companies fail there is absolutely no interest in Customer Service.
It took a month for Vanbar to supply me with Sodium Carbonate in my previous order - totally unacceptable.

In the old days I used to order from the Photographer's Formulary in the US but since September 11th 2001 the world is anal about anything in the post stronger than Talcum powder
So now we cannot buy Pyro, Amidol , Glycin or any other desirable developer from the US from this company.

Perhaps this forum could consider a "Group Buy" of the above "esoteric" developers from Vanbar to make the quantities worthwhile?

Either way Goldstreet has some chemicals, although not Pyrocatechin or Polygallol

Hi Shane I'm still waiting on the Pyrocatechol but Vanbar has fresh Pyro@ $34 for 100gms it came in last week so it's fresh.
