MG,

I believe you need an explosives license to hold even the smallest amount of the powder form of Picric.

As usual, Ebay will provide the Acqueous Form.

I'd imagine these wll be weak solutions, but will still manage to be extremely hazardous!!

MG, Why not try and contact someone who has some already to see if they will stain what you have, probably for a nominal fee.

Its only explosive in dry form, powder etc, but its also toxic when wet and the residue that's left after dying feathers etc could cause problems.

As for boss trouble we like to be sucked up to now and then.
