Pickling Compound Sparex 2-1/2 lb Bag

Gotta say, it does what it says it does - my copper came out sparkling clean and ready for more plating or whatever step I headed to next in the course of my copper plating processes.

ITS OKAY, SEEMS TO TAKE A REALLY LONG TIME TO REMOVE FIRE SCALE, EVEN WHEN HEATED.

great

Pickling is pickling. does the job

Would highly recommend this product and company! Excellent all the way!

This is a wonderful product that I have have used for almost forty years. But.....the bag of Sparex had a hole in it. When I opened the bag it was shipped in it spilled acid everywhere. The bag it was shipped in was intact. So someone put a bag of acid with a hole in it and shipped it to me this is unacceptable.

This stuff works well - it does exactly what is described in the product description. Its just a big sack of pickling compound, and its more than enough for me, since I dont need to clean silver on a full time or industrial level. Ive been using it for months and I still have plenty left. I do wish they had the formulation for smaller batches printed on the back, but a little basic math and youre good if you use a little dipper or similar small crock pot. Perfect for the hobby jewelry maker or non-full time maker.

Also can take both silver and gold filled pieces without problems.

A fast safe way of removing oxidation from brass and copper -- especially after silver soldering.

My wife had bought a very, very tarnished copper plaque 24 in diameter. I built a 25 square 2 deep wood basin, lined it with some 6mil poly, set the plaque in it and covered it with a gal. of the acid mix. After about 4 hours I used a small brass brush in the crevises and it came out looking great. A happy wife makes for a happy life
