Pickling Compound Sparex 2-1/2 lb Bag

good product

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

The box was intact but the product had a tear in the bag. It was strewn all over the box and pouring out of the box flaps where it was not sealed. Now I have it all over my porch,floor, carpet and table. his product is acid and should have been properly bagged and supported with some filling I the box to keep it from sliding all over.

This came so quick it amazed me.

great

The product is easy to use and you can manage how much you would like to make. Instructions are straight forward and easy to understand. The 2-1/2 lb bag is more than enough for a jeweler or hobbyist. Arrived on time and packaged properly.

Some other reviews complained about odor and color but I have no issues with mine. It cleans my metal and does what I need it to do.

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.

I bought this because its the least expensive $/oz that I could find at the time; Then I learned that the pickle almost never needs to be replaced if you dont contaminate it, so I wont need this much pickling compound. The product description didnt say it, but my order came as 4 separate small bags which is GOOD. It should be able to be stored for longer without absorbing liquid from the air.
