[Jewelry making - Article 00101] - [Orchid] Pickle for brass and brass with silver added

[Daniel Ballard]

========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm  ]========

Hello,

    I have a few customers who are casting brass and or master alloy
    (without the gold in it) and making jewelry. 

    It seems to be difficult t pickle cast brass and then go for a
    magnetic tumbling. The castings are turning white, like a steel
    coating, from magnetic pin tumbling. 

    We hope to find a pickle alternative for brass, rather than a long
    multi step tumbling process. The items can NOT be hand finished. 

Any help sure would be appreciated.
Daniel Ballard
