I have wanted to get my hands on this stuff as a hobbyist computer Builder since about 2015 it's a shame because I live not even a few miles away from 3M Oakdale where the fellow Phil Tuma makes videos of delidded CPUs cranking away submerged in this stuff.

A few years back I was able to purchase through a commercial chemical distributor. It's hard to find in 1 gallon glass containers which on their own sell for $300 each. I know hobbyists on bitcoin forums have managed to purchase without an academic institution to back them.
