I bought a bottle from Mouser for about $30, for 8oz, I think.  Quite
pricey.  I expect it to last a good, long time, however.  I've got about 1"
of the solution in a small plastic container that I'm dipping the boards
into.  I have no idea if the solution itself will wear out, or if the
volume will just reduce as I dip my boards and (gloved) fingers into it. 
If it doesn't wear out, imagine how long that much water will last if you
dunk your board in there repeatedly.  :-)
