Dumb question.... Where do you get ammonia?

Hey if Gus Portokalos says it's OK, who are we to challenge him?

In the UK, Jeyes sells a plain ammonia with the brand name 'Kleen Off'. I had no joy finding any of it in a supermarket, but eventually tracked down a bottle in the local hardware shop for what I thought was a rather pricey £3.25 ($6.50). This place had a wonderful range of excitingly specialised cleaning products, including gravestone cleaner. Strangely, no TV ads for that one yet. Regretfully passing over such an interesting shoppertunity, I did however bag half a litre of sticky label residue remover, which should see me out and also prevent a lot of bad language.

 

Has anyone else noticed that since starting with this hobby, you have accumulated a huge assortment of junk you didn't own (or even know about) before? There's the ammonia of course, then the tube of silicone grease (enough to lubricate at least 123,004 pistons), the carnuba polish, the square of brass shim, the jeweller's loupe, the microfibre cloth, the utrasonic cleaner, the sheets of mylar, the Simichrome and so on. Then there's the cupboard to keep all this in, and another cupboard for the inks, something else for the pens (and of course the attendant specially imported flock-lined plastic trays), the pen pouches, the travelling inkwells, the blotters, the blotting paper that goes in them ......

 

I think people who own horses have it easy, frankly.
