Post subject:  Old Timey Camera Film Creation
I'm making an old timey camera ( 1850sish ) for a final project. The film I'm going to be using will use a dry waxed-paper process.
Does anyone know where I can find the following chemicals for use in creating the film?

- Beeswax ( not a chemical but the recipe I'm following calls for 6 - 8 bars. Where do I get bars of wax :? )

- Potassium Iodide
- Silver Nitrate
- Glacial Acetic Acid
- Gallic Acid
- Sodium Thiosulfate
- Potassium Bromide


The only camera shops around these parts are all ritz or wolf and I doubt they'd sell chemicals... where would I find this stuff?

After quick call to our local camera shop, and the guy said to try a company called Helix. Worth a shot, not sure if they'll have anything like that though. :?
