Consultancy

Our consultancy service is legendary. Check with us if you have a problem, or need common sense advice.

  • Maybe you'd like a second opinion on a news item?
  • Maybe you want to use a safer substance?
  • Maybe you want to try a photographic or chemical process?
  • Maybe you've heard of an obsolete photographic process?
  • Maybe you want us to contract-pack something for you?

Our motto here is quite simple - "If it's legal we'll try to advise, and supply"

Some answers to questions we get asked

ChemistryIt's all around us. Everything is chemistry, made up by and with chemicals.
"Green" ChemistryNot as simple as you think. Water is a chemical and the most lethal of all. You will die if you drink too much and drown in your own vomit.... Just as lethal as a tsunami...
The EnvironmentKeep a hold on reality, minute traces of a pesticide cannot be as dangerous as the wrong or unbalanced diet. The Green movement banned lead in petrol and substituted diesel particles that not only kill but subvert the environment.
ToxicologyBugs, drugs and slugs
