Thanks for the formula, Richard -- I may give this a shot, even if just to
put another trick in my bag for future reference.  A couple of questions,
though, as photochemistry is far from my strong suit:

- Is isopropyl alcohol the same as methyl? 
- Iodine in crystal form?
- Is thiocarbamide hard to come by? Would my local (large) pharmacy have it?

I haven't noticed this on the shelf, but will certainly have a look!
