Ken,
I picked a several lifetime supply of Nitric Acid about a dozen years ago from a local guy who ran a chemical supply company. I have managed to lose his contact information but I have some to spare if you are in need. I mixed this stuff forever ago but pretty much used Gaddy's recipe, minus the Mercuric Chloride.

I have read through both Gaddy and Flanigan and have not found the original Parker formulas you refer to. Where did you find them?

Barrels look very too!

Steve
