Does anyone know where I can buy personal/compact size bottles of potassium permanganate and glycerin? All the sizes i have seen are a minimum of a gallon and with a cost in the triple digits.
Thanks!

If you have a Sears Hardware store locally you can buy 8 oz bottles . They are with the water sterilization supplies. As far as glycerin, pretty much any drug store such as walgreens has them. You can also use radiator fluid which has worked better for me.

If the other suggestions don't work out for you, you can shop online at The Chemistry Store for Potassium Permanganate ($14.00 for a 2 lb pail) and Glycerin ($10.00 for a 1 qt bottle).

You can get glycerin from veterinary supply places, or horse supply places, about $30/gal.

glycerin and potasium parmangenate mixed together give you a very strong blaze... Glycerin can be used as an aid for chapped skin when mixed with water (2-3 parts)

Glycerin suppositories make small, individually enclosed containers for fire starting. They also serve the original purpose as a laxative should you need that... smile
