Does anyone need hand sanitizer?

[Mr Ripple]

Is the postal system going to remain in action?

As far as I’m aware, Royal Mail intend to stay open. Our account manager has basically said prepare for delays but we currently have no plans to close.

Obviously the government could shut it down but there hasn’t been any talk of that currently.

I have access to DHL and Hermes too, worse comes to worst.

Just as a public service announcement, hospital grade hand sanitiser can be made easily at home by anyone for about 8p per litre. 250 litres for less than £20.

You need to order one litre of Benzalkonium Chloride (BAC50) for about £18.50 delivered to your door. It used to be about £10 a litre, but unsurprisingly has gone up a bit recently. Readily available online.

When you get it, take 20ml of the BAC 50, put in a 1L bottle and then top up to 1L with water. You now have 1% Benzalkonium Chloride. (BAC1). Do not use this to clean your hands with. Be careful doing this as the raw BAC50 will burn your skin.

Then take some of the BAC1, put it in a "foamy soap" bottle and dilute with 4 more parts of water. Add a little PG or VG to moisturise. You now have hospital grade foaming hand sanitiser. (It works just fine without the foaming bit). Add some essential oil or vape flavour if you want a nice scent.

This stuff costs less than 10p per litre to make at home. Dont let people rip you off for hand sanitiser!



EDITED TO SAY: I am not in any way trying to diss the OP here as I am sure he is honestly providing a good service, but his offer works out at about £32 a litre.....plus P&P. vs under 10p a litre made up at home. You will need your own bottles though if you go the home made way - but you may have those already.

I don’t see how I’m ripping anyone off charging cost price and using my own packaging supplies from my own pocket dude, but ok!

Sorry mate - I am not insinuating that at all. Just trying to point out that people can do this themselves at home for almost no cost.

No worries pal, I understand

I am just trying to help others on a wider scale. I applaud what Lee is trying to do, but 60ml of sanitiser for £1.92 is crazy - but not his fault at all. Just what the market is doing.

If you come to my house (PM me) I will give you 1L of hospital grade BAC hand sanitiser for no money whatsoever. You will need to bring your own bottle. I appreciate this may not be convenient, but it's the best I can do, just as Lee is also trying to help people.

This is simple chemistry available to everyone. There is no need to succumb to crisis pricing or pay branded goods money. Take a deep breath and count to ten...

(EDIT: The free hand sanitiser offer is open to ALL apes, but I live in rural Surrey and you will need to find your own way here and bring your own bottles. 1L each maximum. And you cant have anything if I am out :-) So it may not be economically viable.)

I think we’ll leave it at that now guys, anyone who has their name down for some I’ll drop them a Pm with payment details in due course. We’re up to three full boxes now. No more names please!

Just for my own piece of mind, screenshot from the rep at the suppliers about the prices attached (prices are plus VAT and shipping)

Happy to post a screenshot of the invoice when I’ve paid too if anyone wants to see it.
