can you buy celevac [methycellulose] over the counter in a chemist?

Question

does anyone know if you can buy methycellulose in a local chemist rather than order over the internet please

Answer 1

a chemist may sell it but you may find this of interest, If you want to purchase methyl cellulose don't call your local hobby and craft stores. Most likely you won't be able to find it, although some large stores do carry it like New York Central Art Supply. Your best bet is to look for it at a wallpaper store since methyl cellulose is also used as wallpaper paste. But don't go in and just get any wallpaper paste. Be sure you're getting methyl cellulose or some derivative thereof. The product we use is ‘Methylan Cellulose’. Since this product was slightly different from methyl cellulose, we called the company that produces the Methylan Cellulose to find out what the difference was. One of their chemists told us the only thing different was that they had added a preservative. This is great since with the Methylan Cellulose you can mix up a batch and store it for several weeks. You can make a cup or so at a time and save it in a Tupperware® container for a month or more
