Greg,

    I use Sparex pickle 99% of the time. Have not tried this with
    citric. I would normally use fresh pickle but sometimes when in a
    hurry??? even used pickle will work. 

    Don't use too much HP and don't leave the piece in any longer than
    necessary or it will turn a dull gray (possibly zinc plating if using
    used pickle). 

    Happy 06 to you and all! 

Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple    
elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
