Michaelaway Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 There are a couple of small hardware stores on Thepprasit; they might have it. Of not, maybe you could use nail polish remover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail polish remover contains glycerin and other oily stuff which makes it useless for my use. Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I buy from a small hardware store in Naklua, they primarily supply the boat industry. Look around your area for the same, typically anywhere selling fiberglass resin will have acetone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I cannot say where to buy in Pattaya but here in Ban Chang on Suk is a chemical supply shop and he sells pure acetone in any amount I may want. So my recommendation is to look for a shop in the area that is a local distributor for chemical and cleaning supplies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mran66 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I have bought mine from friendship supermarket. In cleaning/detergent section . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagleizer Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Thanks for your help guys! I sent my girlfriend out to buy some. (It was for her anyway) No luck at Friendship, but she got some in Naklua that was diluted with water. The seller there told her everybody was diluting it, which I don`t believe. The bottle was also leaking a lot because of wrong cap :p. 5 "Lippo"-bottles with orange warning tape solved that problem :) I`ll try some of the other suggested places later on. For now it`s kind of working, it just takes a bit of extra time to let the water dry out. Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The manic Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Is it legal or is it not classified as a precursor chemical used in illegal drug production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeba7 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 In the states it is sold as 'rush' or locker room.' I think it is used as a poor man's amly nitrate to stimulate the heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stardust314 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I think you make a mistake or you got misinformed. You'll need sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide commonly known as lye.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution However this combination is is the best. For a modest bribe in small chemical shops in naklua or bkk you'll get everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrobay Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 All paint/hardware sell laquore thinner = acetone. Look for AAA label Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Acetone is a single pure substance, lacquer thinner is a mix of acetone and other similar chemicals (ketones), some of which evaporate more slowly. Think of acetone as salt, lacquer thinner as seasoned salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrobay Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) Ok its a mixture and acetone is a ketone. Never stated what the purpose is for ^ but as a solvent, lacquer thinner will cut anything. Super glue, epoxy resins . hydrocarbons. BTW ive had organic too Edited November 25, 2016 by morrobay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mran66 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) was shopping for groceries today and checked if indeed they discontinued acetone at friendship - seems still there, 50bt for 450ml and 18bt for 100ml bottle. Bought this before and worked well for all cleaning...be careful it easily damages the surface under the stain so it probably is real acetone. At least says acetone and smells like it. Right under the toothbrushes, on alley opposite where butter/margarine is placed. ...But where to find Oxalic acid...in some other towns seems to be available in stores selling chemicals - anybody know of such general chemical store in Pattaya area?

According to my GF, this is for nails, which normally means it have Glycerol. She did see this when she went to Friendship, but the sticker only says that it contains Acetone, so probably not 100% as it would not be good for nails otherwise. We have for nails already, and it certainly smells like Acetone, but when it dries out on a polished surface of metal, you can clearly see the oil/fat. 100% Acetone would disappear completely. Nail polish remover works fine if you just want to remove stuff from a surface. If you want to glue or paint on that surface afterwards, not so good... You can do a second cleaning with alcohol, but it`s time consuming and expensive. 100% Acetone is what I`m looking for, and I will check out the other suggestions when it`s time for a refill.
