How I Make Citric Acid Pickle Solution For Silversmithing & Soldering
Citric acid is a less-toxic pickle solution for metalsmithing and jewelry making...to use after soldering. Simple Pickle Solution • Boiling water + a few tablespoons of citric acid. • Add the acid to the water. Adding water to the acid could cause splashing…something you don’t want! • Make sure to dispose of your used pickle solution properly. Don’t flush down the toilet or down a drain.
