Sod perc and sod met bulk supplier in Dandenong

[Truman42]

Howdy gents, just been watching A Current Affair and they actually had something useful for a change.

Aurora Cleaning Supplies in Dandenong South sell sodium percarbonate and sodium metasilicate pentahydrate in small bulk lots.

Sod perc is
1kg bucket $10
5 kg bucket $30
25 kg bag $100

Sod met
5 kg $20

Not as cheap as the pallet bulk buys we do but certainly cheaper than Woolies or the LHBS.

Check it out (no affiliation etc etc )

Is the sodium met what you mix with percarb to make pbw?

By the way was watching that story!

That is where I purchased my ingredients for homemade pbw and I am happy with the result.

Yes it is. 3 parts perc to 1 part met IIRC.

Bugger...i've been doinf two to one....for over two years
Anyone got the correct ratio's ?

 

[Black n Tan]

2:1 for me too Ferg.

 

[fcmcg]

Thanks Grant...I knew a scientist out there would be right !

3:1 is the right number.. I posted Wolfy's chemical breakdown just today in another thread.

 

[fcmcg]

Yob, your killing me....
I'm still using the stuff we got in the bulk buy you did over two years ago lol

3:1 is the right number.. I posted Wolfy's chemical breakdown just today in another thread.

Didn't I see you post a ratio of 70:30 in another thread just today?? It was a few beers ago though, so stand to be corrected.

EDIT: 70:30 is closer to 2:1 that 3:1, no?

 

[Yob]

um.. yeah.. I did.. admittedly, Im shit at maths :blink:

 

[Black n Tan]

It is all bucket chemistry so i am sure no big issue.

 

[tavas]

Awesome. Thanks Truman

just for clarity, Hucon sell at the same price for a bag as they do a pallet which ends up about half the price, but if you are happy paying more for smaller quantites and are in that area, good deal.
