This will be where stuff about chemistry goes. Feel free to edit as you like; I'm starting with lists of reagents and glassware that I will be bringing, and will add photos later today.

Prices are from Sigma-Aldrich's catalogue. In reality these can be had much more cheaply on ebay.

==Things we should have on hand==
There are many reagents which we should have in stock and which can be acquired easily from hardware stores or photography supply stores. Here are some, please add more:
* Acetone (hardware store)
* Xylene (hardware store)
* Toluene (hardware store, though do they sell it in California?)
* 99% isopropyl alcohol (pharmacy)
* Glacial acetic acid (photography supply)
* Dichloromethane (hardware store)
* Denatured alcohol (hardware store)
* Naphtha (hardware store)
* 99% ethanol (can be purchased at places like The Science Shop in San Jose, but is very expensive; cheaper to make our own)
* Silica gel (finer ground than the stuff that comes in packets, but we can grind it up in a mortar)
* Calcium chloride (hardware store, "Damp-Rid")
* Magnesium sulfate, anhydrous (pharmacy; buy Epsom salts and bake them in an oven to dehydrate, then put in a bag and crush into little chunks)
* Astroglide, glycerin/paraben-free (for greasing glass joints)
* Nitric acid, 70% (electronics supply -- used for etching PCBs)
