It's actually pretty cheap. only $60. I might get this to play around. Anyone know what else I would need to actually be able to do these techniques?

in the right hands, used sparingly and to the proper effect, this stuff is amazing. otherwise, as texasjack says, it's just kids playing with chemistry.
