Title: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: nigelb on April 08, 2014, 01:30:07 PM
As mentioned in the other BBB thread I said I'd arrange a price list of chems that people may wish to take delivery of at this years BBB. If there's enough interest, as there was last year, then my man will delivery to Chugs' field on the Saturday morning. I've asked for a price list for the following items which will then be gauranteed & delivered:

Methanol 205 and 25
ASM
Centrefeed rolls
IPA 25 and 5
Chemical toilet fluid (blue)
Chemical fluid (Pink)
NaOH
KOH
Acetone...for those who still use it.........or for nail varnish remover... Jim?
96% or 98% Sulphuric Acid
Battery Acid

If there is anything else that you would like, let me know and I'll get  price and add it to the list.

Cash on delivery or card payment to my supplier. You will have the opportunity to increase or even cancel your order (cash payments only) up to the Thursday evening before the event.

I'll post this up on the other channel and keep records at my end.

I will be after IPA (5 or 25 depending on cost), 25kg of conc sulphuric and some centrefeed towells for sure (at least one six pack, maybe two) to get you started.
Have you made any enquiries about 2-EHN? If he could get any I bet he would be cheaper than trinity's biotane.

Not through the lack of trying Jules. He wants to stock and supply but cant get the minimum stock level he wants.

Have you moved away from ASM now and totally back to powder catalyts?

Post by: julesandtash on April 08, 2014, 10:09:53 PM
I've gone full circle back to KOH mate. The liquid glyc makes it all so much easier for me. I never managed fully liquid glyc with ASM.

Maybe I can get you a good deal on KOH?

I'll surely be after some ASM and methanol. I'll have to see about quantitys nearer the date.
If I'm particularly well off, I might have some NaOH, to try some soap making. (real soap, not wet oil soap...)

Thanks Nige,
20litres conc sulphuric, 25 litres IPA, 25Kg of KOH and two packs of centrefeed towels please - not fussed on colour.
32.50+49.85+54+(12.75 X 2) = £161.85 in my book.

That should start to make his trip worthwhile  :)

Your order has been duly noted on my system Jules.

Nige please put me down for 5l IPA, I don't do titration any more but it's so useful for cleaning oil off things and removing glue etc.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: nigelb on April 09, 2014, 09:29:37 PM
No worries Tony. It's on the list now.

I'm the same as you chap...I use it just for cleaning now too.

I don't suppose anyone would be travelling past Langport and would be able to deliver some Sodium Methylate for me?

I can offer oil, bio, homebrew beer or cold hard cash in return.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: julesandtash on May 04, 2014, 10:08:51 PM
I can do that James, as I did last year.

I normally do A303 down as far as Ilminster then the A358 past Thornfalcon and over to the M5 at Taunton as it is a better route down to Exeter when towing the caravan than the blackdown hills on the A30 before Honiton.
As such, detouring to you is no real problem (except that sharp hairpin just down the road from you).

Sort out the payment with Nige and I will drop it down for you.

Oil or beer sounds good, happy with either.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: nigelb on May 05, 2014, 12:38:07 AM
Would you like me to put you down for 25 or 50 James?
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: therecklessengineer on May 05, 2014, 06:55:11 AM
Jules: You are a true gentleman sir.

50 litres would be stonking if I could please Nige. Bank transfer OK? Let me know what the damage is.

Gutted I can't come for yet another year. The first weekend in July is already set aside for the BBB in 2015.

Hey...when have I ever traded dirty drums 8)

James...you can make a bank transfer if you wish or you could pay by debit or credit card direct to my supplier. Let me know which you would prefer. BTW 50 will set you back £89

Post by: nigelb on May 23, 2014, 07:29:37 PM
Another cheeky bump as we edge ever closer to the BBB. This one has more of a purpose than the last one.

ASM is now a limited supply. I've had a run on sales during the last week and sold the six I had in stock. Ive been in touch with my supplier to find out what he has in relation to the orders already placed for the said event. He says he has 14 x 25 available. With 8 x 25 already ordered it leaves just 6 x 25's available.

Get your orders in if you want some for collection at Chugs.

He will be ordering more but not sure of the delivery date nor the price.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: greasemonkey on May 23, 2014, 09:28:56 PM
I might skip it. I've still got half a drum left.
By the time I run out, it'll probably be well after the BBB anyhow.
To much moneys worth to have standing.
I'll be on for some Methanol though. I'll see how much closer to the time.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: Rossey on May 25, 2014, 06:41:09 AM

Could I have two of each now?

How do you want paying and what day will your supplier be coming?
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: nigelb on May 25, 2014, 07:43:17 AM
The list has now been updated Rossey. You can pay me on the day by cash or cheque or in advance there are a couple of options:
1.bank transfer to me
2.credit or debit card to my supplier.

The goods will be delivered to the field on Saturday morning.

For those who want Methanol, KOH or NaOH can you please take note of this that Chug posted on the VOD yesterday:

Dave from Basic Chemicals says as in previous years he can supply methanol, KOH and NaOH for folks at the BBB on Saturday

Methanol 200 Litres (supplied in 8 x 25L cubees) = £110
NaOH 25Kg bags = £20
KOH in 25Kg bags = £35

Ring Dave on 01494 450701


This is place for these chems unless my supplier is prepared to match prices...stand by!
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: nigelb on May 27, 2014, 03:47:05 PM
As an update to the ASM situation I've been to see my man today. Another 800kgs of ASM will be landing in Leicester by mid June.

There are 5 x 25 currently available in a ddition to the 9 x 25 that have been pre-ordered.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: Tony on May 27, 2014, 04:09:26 PM
If Dave is coming I may well order Meth and KOH from him (been meaning to give KOH a go!)

Just need to check my current levels of Meth and see if it will tide me over until the BBB.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: nigelb on May 27, 2014, 07:32:02 PM
With the best part of £24 being tied up in the 8 containers, Dave's methanol is incredible cheap. My supplier what somewhat surprised when I showed him the prices that Basic are selling at. He suspects that the catalyst is being sold below cost price! Get it while you can.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: nigelb on May 27, 2014, 11:09:07 PM
I see that KOH can be got even cheaper on the bay....having said that you need to be in the right part of the country to take advantage of collection options.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: nigelb on May 28, 2014, 01:24:09 PM
Posted on the other channel is an offer at the BBB of free soap tests for anybody that brings along a sample. Why?....'cause I'm a nice bloke! 8)

Just a little bump for those going or those who wish to make onward transport arrangements for chems at the up coming BBB.

Methanol and powder catalyts are best sourced from Basic...my mans prices are a bit rich. If there is anything special you want then now is the time to shout up. TFR's, wash & wax, disinfectants, bleaches, hard surface cleaners and the like are all in his range.

For those who have ordered can you please have the correct money at the field please. Cheques are acceptable as is cash. Advanced payments can be made to my supplier or to me via BACS.

Why he delivers 205ltr drums @ between 80 and 85, and yet wants to charge 110 for, basically, pickup, i dont know.

The catalysts are cheap though.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: Tony on June 24, 2014, 02:23:10 PM
I might ask if I can get a couple of drums delivered there which I can then decant myself.
Title: Re: BBB 2014 Chemical Supply
Post by: julianf on June 24, 2014, 02:43:28 PM
I dont know why the price wobbles about so much with Dave - plenty of people on this forum get deliveries for 85, and, i think, one person for 80.  You would imagine that picking up from the yard would be at least the same, if not even cheaper, but, alas, its then 25 or so more (for 5 liters less methanol!)


Im in Highwycombe a few times every year, and could easily buy all my methanol from him if it were a case of just going in and handing over cash.

Wifey phoned Dave last week to order 200 Ltrs of meth. He asked if we wanted it in a drum or 20 ltr  containers. Either way you get 205 Ltrs . So if you wanted a drum to decant I would appreciate the empty as I wanted the containers for other uses.
