I read an article about how to make newspaper logs with various chemical additives for decorative colored flames. I contacted a local business listed under 'Chemicals' in the phonebook, but they only sell bulk quantities. Please suggest a source for some of these chemicals sold in 'comsumer' size quantities.

Copper Nitrate ---- Emerald Green
Barium Nitrate ---- Apple Green
Copper Chloride --- Bluish Green
Lithium Chloride -- Purple
Calcium Chloride -- Orange
Strontium Nitrate - Red

Im not sure where to get the chemicals, but research the safety of inhaling these fumes before you go about this project, you may find they are not that safe.
