Home now and did bring back some Hawaiian alaea salt to try salt printing with :D
I'm sorry to report I didn't bring one. I thought about it and thought about it and finally decided not to try to take them through airport security. Mine all use paper negatives or instant film......
Thanks Earl, now I know what I'm looking for. The one I saw was in a green box and I couldn't tell if it was only sulfamic.
We just arrived on Maui so will look when we get home :)
I went to a local hardware store and found some "dry acid" cleaner that contained sulfamic acid, but the container did not list whether it also contained other ingredients so I held off... will try...
