    Not as far as I know. It's just called citric acid. It's used in
    canning certain foods, and in soap making. I've been using citric
    acid since I started casting, and I love it. As chemicals go, it's
    fairly non-toxic and doesn't release discernible fumes. And if I get
    it on my skin, it's not going to eat a hole in me. I was using a
    standard pickle pot until recently, when I switched to a much larger
    crock pot (holds more castings than the pickle pot). The crock pot
    gets the pickle a LOT hotter than the pickle pot did, and thus, the
    citric acid works a lot faster than it used to work. I was getting
    my citric acid from a soap making supply company called Cedarvale,
    but they seem to have gone out of business. I'll be trying the
    supplier that Pam mentioned, craftlobby.com. I just checked and they
    have 10 pounds of citric acid for $12.50 plus shipping. 

    That's about 1/4 of what I paid the last time I bought it!
