Hello R.C.M.

	if your looking for 4130 try one of the mail order aiplane suply
companies like Alexander Airplane. They would be my first choice.  They
also have alot composites suplies and good instructions as does Aircraft
Spruce.  Also some machine shops will sell you their scrap but expect any
deals.  All of these place will sell small quantities of 4130 and other
materials in sheet, tube and plate as well as the best nuts and bolts and
plumbing you'll ever see.

    The old Solidox pellets were made from potassium chlorate, with other, 
inert ingredients.  Good luck on finding them, though...I haven't seen any on 
sale for a long, long time.  You'ld probably be better off getting a new 
oxy-propane torch; they're pretty cheap (about $40-50 at the local Home Depot) 
They have a great advantage over the Solidox type, you can turn them off!
