Having just read Steven Branfman's book I am keen to try some post raku fuming and wonder if anybody can point me to US suppliers of the following:
STANNOUS CHLORIDE
STRONTIUM NITRATE

Any help would be greatly appreciated

just be careful when spraying these. They are very toxic.
The Stannous chloride will give a rainbow luster when sprayed on crackle white.
The ferric chloride will give a gold luster when sprayed on crackle white.
Stand up wind to avoid the fumes.

I would start with US Pigments. But, whew, scary stuff, well, scares me...especially spraying scary stuff.

Most chemical sources can be located by googling the chemical name. The science company is a good source for stannous chloride. By all means wear good chemical respirators when fuming.

I have both and have used both .
The thing is wear a really good respirator as these are very nasty.
