There are very few places that sell it online as its highly regulated. Without an ATF license, which is ridiculously difficult to get in of itself, you can only obtain 5 gallons a year. For a business model it would be difficult to calculate who you sold it to and at what levels because it all has to be reported to the ATF. That's why many companies actually don't use SD38B. They claim all types of things but the truth be told when making colognes it may be illegal to sell it without SD38B.
However as a home chemist/perfumer that is not selling it you can use "everclear" which is actually structurally the same as SD38B except SD38B has a bittering agent so as not to be consumable.
You can also obtain SD38B (I think) from Androtics, but I honestly don't know how much longer they can do that for. The laws have changed and have become quite difficult on small business with regulations. Again its probably cheaper and easier if you used everclear as long as its for personal use. Sell something with it or vodka and you're looking at hard-time and fines.

Why thank you Steve for the help.
As far as Perfumes go, normally they use DPG and Alcohol, any pro's or con's to using DPG over Everclear? Or is this a stupid question? Many of my handy oils dont hit quite as well in winter and I would love API to project like a monster.
Another stupid question while I am at it and asking the expert, wouldnt everclear act slightly like Rubbing Alcohol in respect to cleaning app points?

Well DPG is to fix the molecules to prevent evaporation and its an oil as you know. Everclear would take the place of SD38B which is perfumers alcohol. So to answer your question, no you wouldn't replace the dpg, but you can use it to change the diffusion of the APi. Same concept of why you wouldn't typically spray alcohol based cologne on an oil application. It changes the diffusion. In your case you can get some everclear and spray it over the application point.
Actually rubbing alcohol would not remove pheromones at all. I keep hearing this so I'm not sure where this originates from but the concept is flawed. The mones sit in an alcohol base so adding more alcohol would simply just spread it around a bit more on the skin. Its like spilling wine on your shirt and using wine to try and get it out.
What you want to use is hydrogen peroxide or witch hazel. Both work well in actually removing the pheromones and so there you have it.
Hope this helps

I make my oils about 7X stronger than my SD40B (Perfumers Alcohol) blends. For a 30 mL you'd need about 5 mL of the oil to equal about the right dosage. Of course its early, its Saturday and I'm on one cup of coffee. That sounds about right though

My experience of mixing the oils into sprays has not been great, cohesion for example was good for a couple hours but it wrecked the diffusion as all the DHEA diffused much quicker then the A1, it didn't have that even dispersion of the normal sprays, same with evolve after a few hours I was left with just a shit load of -none.

I love the idea that you guys are experimenting with it though.
