    Hair jerky................oh, man!

    Yes, those companies are USA based, but they are on the net and ship anywhere.

    But, here is one you can check out:

    You must have comparables in the UK, right? That is, if the government hasn't banned sodium bicarbonate, hydrogen chloride, and the like in their processs of "protecting one from onesself", as govenrnments are wont to do these days.

    Here is some info that will help you:

    Knowing our government...

    I'll try the new product from Tandy as thay're Tannit has been discontinued over here.

    Bit expensive though so may try buying the chemicals off evil-bay.
