We just had the same discussion over on the Rabbit board - but it was for tanning hides.

You may want to search over there to find the thread.

They produce it in bulk. 50#sacks to 1ton.

Not sure how much it is now..used to be around $250 per ton.

otherwise....I'd suggest what I always think of first...go to your local grocer and see if he can order it for you .... perhaps in a 5gal pail, or 10lb sack or similar.
