I just finished brwosing a thread in the maples section and it made reference to lime sulfur becoming unavailable. I just purchased some at the bonsai nursery the other day. Them seemed to have a few left.
I was wondering if there has been a recent, official on the status of this. Also, has any one used an alterantive and how did it work out. Actually, from information I read a long time ago.. Lime sulfur is not necessarilly a preservant, it is more of, a bleaching agent. If this does become unavailable, would a good, possibly diluted, wood hardner serve as a substitue... Also, if one desired the whitening effect, could a little white paint be mixed into the wood hardner. More importantly, would this be safe from a chemical point of view...I am anxious to hear people's thought ..
