Yes, if you provide the supplies/materials for your work, you should definitely write them off as an expense.
For business code, just use 999999. It's a catch all for "other" businesses.

Would you deduct the chemicals in the supplies category?

Yes, your chemicals would be a supply expense.
I would not use 999999 as your business code. That can cause a red flag during processing. I would use 811490 - Other personal & household goods repair & maintenance.
