I remember the 'shortage' in the UK too, but we were still making our own
and therefore we weren't affected.
Never understood if there was a 'shortage' why the dry powder was still
available. Why didn't they use it to make the haematoxylin? Anyway logs
float don't they?

Mark,
Then what we supposed to do? Stockpile commercial the popular commercial
mixtures, and let them outdate on the shelf? Not a comforting thought for
those who have to buy in bulk due to large volumes. Maybe we need to go
back to making our own solutions, with dry powders. I would assume some of
the higher prices will come from shippers, linked to high oil prices. What
a muddle.
