I purchased a acid pickle but I dont think it is doing what its meant to. when ordering it the guy said I labled it up as sulphuric pickle to send via courier. problem was he spoke little english was trying to be really helpful and I think there was a mix up. I know when using it before at college it worked quickly. 2 hours later it hadn't shifted the fire scale from the silver. at all. infact the water was turning a horrid bright greeny/blue colour. (I havent had the pieces near copper and keep it well away from copper. I am baffled as I cleaned the slow cooked our and made sure there was nothing contaminating it no binding wire etc. The powder is white and clumpy looks similar to jewellers flux. I am wondering what this powder is! I dont think its pickle but worried its hazzardous. I am going to be looking for a safe way of disposing of the pickle as the company wont take the powder back....hmmph.
I am opting out of using it. and going back to safety pickle.
I have decided i want to check around for course as, I had a tutor teach me but I have found that everything taught has been the opposite to all the books I have since bought!!! That is quite worrying! I feel like the tutor didnt want me to succeed and so taught us wrong. (possible?) if we teach them wrong they will have to keep returning wont they.
seems to be one thing after another but, I have managed to make a few silver pieces im happy with. I dont want to give up but want to be taught correctly as, I dont believe in giving up and I like a challenege.
