    I have searched and searched the archives, and I've seen many
    references to, but never a recipe for, a nickel white gold pickle
    made of sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide. So, can anyone who uses
    this, and has good results, please send me the formula that they
    use?  Please be sure to tell me what concentrates of acid and
    peroxide you use (these will most likely be printed on the
    containers somewhere, and will say either x% or xN, wherein "x" is
    the number I need to know, and I'm terribly sorry if this seems
    condescending, it's not intended that way at all, I just know that
    there have been plenty of times in my life where I've gotten hand me
    downs, or used whatever was on hand, and would hate to not get this
    vital bit of information because of those circumstances.  Really,
    I'm not that smarmy, I promise.)  I did find plenty of great
    information in the archives about using a boric acid solution to
    prevent the scale from forming, and I'll give that a try, but I
    really really need to know how I can get the icky black out of the
    tiny nooks and crannies of the pieces I've already soldered, because
    there are some places where I just cant get my polishing pins and
    cords.  Thanks for reading my rambling. 

E Gore
