Pickling Paste

[HughF]

Can anyone recommend a not-so-damn-nasty pickling paste? I've used Antox 71E up till now but I'd like to find something that isn't so damn toxic/corrosive.

I understand there are citric acid ones available?

There is a few in the Antox range, there is one that isnt quite as severe as the 71E, no not as good for heavily coloured welds....
Pelox also do a less acidic one, but remeber, they wont work as well or as fast as the nasty stuff.
Not a big issue if your doing lighter stuff that is nicely welded or you have all the time in the world... But dont expect the less toxic ones to go cleaning up MIG welds on 12mm plate...

I cant recommend one personally though, as ive only ever used the good stuff.
