For umpteen years I’ve been making my own cheap-as-chips leader sinkant from the classic recipe of Fullers Earth powder, liquid detergent and glycerin. But can I buy Fullers Earth powder anywhere in my town? No longer, it seems. Anyone else had this problem? And if they have, have they solved it, and can they let me know where I can buy the stuff?

I too failed to find any in the local chemists, they all used to stock it ten years ago.I bought this 'cosmetic grade' on ebay, which does the job well enough, but found it stickier than the light grey stuff I used to get.A search on google revealed there are lots of different types- not that I'm becoming a connoiseur of mud

Thanks guys. I can find pots of FE paste in chemists shops, but not the powder that's been easily available for years.

Used or clean?

Hi', David. I had to order mine from a health shop, here in Penrith. It is a paler grey than the Fuller's Earth that was once available in our chemists' shops, and not quite as effective in use; but still cheap to buy. Any health shop should have the address of a supplier. TC
