>>12708153Depends on where you live. There will always be local lab suppliers and school suppliers you can turn to, who will sell to you with some limitations based on local law. Other then that, you can buy stuff from ebay. But a lot of the fundamentals can be bought from non chemistry realated sources.
I got my glassware from a local lab suplier and some from a local school supplier. My microscope is from a local optics webshop, my chemicals are mostly from a local hardwear store. Drain cleaner HCL, and H2SO4, adn NaOH, pool chemicals, fertalizer for nitrates. For cleaner or more specific chemicals, i turn to a local lab supplier i found on google. Stains, substrate for bacteriology, rare chemicals. Some things can be sourced as medicine, thats how i got my colchicine. Other thigs you might need to build or come up with creative alternatives unless you are mad of money. I just yesterday finished up building an incubator for bacteriology, and i use a programeable prassure cooker as an autoclave.
