    I'd need to find some metaldehyde. Wait, isn't that the stuff inside the pesticide for snails?
    I can't find Meta tablets around here but we have Hexamine tablets for camp stoves.

    Hey.
    I'm not 100% sure it's metaldehyde.
    This substance is extremely toxic, and is banned from sale in Denmark and most EU countries, Metaldehyde can, however, be bought in Germany, where it is mixed with snail poison, but is banned from import. It therefore amazes me that a Danish company sells it.

    Of course it's toxic! It's still metaldehyde, duh... :roll::lol:

    But that doesn't matter much today. Remember that this is a sale from an outlet.
    That Owlite will most likely be from the sixties, or so. Even older in some cases, and back then they weren't so picky about these things.
