Throw some in my mini crock pot, add distilled water, Heat. Stuff lasts longer than any other pickle I've used. When liquid evaporated just add more distilled water. The Sparex has very minimal loss and is used over and over again. Great stuff.

Welding gold is my hobby. I've tried, post welding, to use all kind of cleaning methods (like warm venigar, baking soda etc.) But it did not work for me. So, I've ordered that material, it came ahead of schedule and does a great cleaning (after submerging the gold there is a need to wipe it up from the residues)

I was not entirely sure how much solution I would get out of this bag of granular product and it only makes a single batch of about a quart. But it is a long lasting product and that means that the quart goes a long way. It works as it is intended to for the pickling of metals after soldering and it can be replenished after evaporation and made to last a long time. It is a good value and it works as intended

This bag will probably last me my entire life.Came well packaged and properly sealed. No spillage!Pickled my rings quick and easily, no problems at all.It is a VERY strong acid, so be careful using it on jewelry. I left some jump rings in it overnight and it almost ate right through them. This wasn't the product's fault, but mine. So just be careful with your soak times.6 years later: The bag will NOT last me my entire life. I still have a quite a bit left, but it's obvious that I should resupply soon. I make jewelry quite often, so.... it's not too surprising.Oh, and it's still great pickle. Firescale can go to Hell (ha ha)!

The photo and description state "10 oz can", but it comes in a flimsy plastic bag that doesn't reseal. Instructions printed on the bag are smeared and difficult to read. That being said, I was able to measure out 1/4 of the stuff and mix with 1 cup of water in my mini crock pot, and it works great! I stored the opened bag by rolling it up, stuffing it into a styrofoam cup and then into a ziplock bag, ready for my next batch.

This silver pickle mix works exactly as advertised!I will note that you need to be extra careful to make this effective as possible. You have to mix and use it in a non steel container and not use steel tools to work with it. If you do this it will turn the mix into a coper plating solution and all of your silver will have a pinkish coating on it.

Have use this product for 2 years now. Cleaning both silver and gold, in a short time
