    Speaking about safety, health and pickles, please understand that
    the fumes of sodium bisulphate are *cancerogenic*. There is not a
    very easy solution to this. You can keep your pickle at a safe
    temperature, but when soldering and pickling a couple of pieces, the
    solution will start to fume anyway. I simply do not have the patience
    to use citric acid or alum - of which the fumes are not safe either.
    I mean, suppose you want to reticulate or to deplete silver, you just
    can't do this with citric acid. It takes a day. But I keep myself
    away as far as possible from all fumes sulphuric. Just my two
    Eurocents - they're almost worth ten dollarcents by now. Best, Will
