Andy,

    It's the classroom situation that is the toughest. We have two
    pickle pots, actually one is citric acid for the brass and copper and
    the other is pH fixer for the other. I find that the segregation
    forces students to be aware of watching what they are putting in the
    pickle. The occasional tong I am not concerned, but binding wire is
    annoying. 

    A pickle pot after a week of students is pretty nasty. We have only
    one in the private studios though, since the "professionals" are much
    easier on the studio's supplies.
