where can i get naphthalene from?

mothballs

Can't add much to the Bongman's message, Just be sure you get napthalene mothballs, rather than paradichlorobenzene, Which is more common. Have fun, CrAzEdByTcH :-)

Did you know that it's dangerus for your health??
I think it can give you cancer!

That's what you always say.

Hey, Peacemaker, There must be millions of carcinogens out there, I wouldn't sweat it, Just avoid breathing the fumes. Regards, CrAzEdByTcH
