Pickling Compound Sparex 2-1/2 lb Bag

I have been using sparex for a while and find it is always a dependable formula. It is nice to have it available in this larger size. It would be great if they could make a version that doesnt create crusty deposits on my pickling pot.

This works well and fast for pickling my copper. Probably the most popular pickling solution for jewelers.

This bag of granular acid compound has a hole in it and it leaked out into the packing material. Not happy about that!

I have always used Sparex 2 in my pickle pot. Earlier this year, I decided to go green and tried every salt/vinegar formula possible. I was not happy with the results. I used a PH Down, which was better than the household combinations but not as dependable as Sparex 2. I’m back to Sparex and can’t imagine using anything else. Consistent results and fast.

This is a new product for me to study its use and purpose to use in the jewelry making business.

nothing to dislike.

easy to use, safe

Quick shipping. Could have been more specific about this product being sparex #2, I needed sparex #1.

This standard pickle is used by many jewelers/goldsmiths for a good enough reason.

I am a silversmith and use Sparex as my pickling compound. This product turns yellowish brown in color when added to water which is not at all acceptable. It is so bad and murky that I am not able to find my silver pieces in the bottom of my small pickle pot. Awful - I will throw it out and go back to ordering it from my regular supplier, Rio Grande. A real waste of money and truly useless for any jewelry soldering cleaning process.
