    Helen, What can you tell me about Aluminum Potassium sulfate ( AlK
    (SO4)2)? 

    also I have been eyeing my kodak GBX replenisher - for one ;it is
    primarily Potassium Sulfite, and Sodium Sulfite, with a bit of
    diethylene glycol and hydroquinone ( to keep the mosquitoes away!I
    suppose) and thinking, that would work for a variety of uses. Also I
    have some GBX Fixer that sounds to me like an ideal ultra pickle :
    sodium bisulfite, ammonium thiosulfate, sodium acetone, and ammonium
    sulfite-oh yeah, and water!..What is your professional opinion, if
    you have one, on using these compounds..I'm tempted. I have cases of
    the stuff and it's sitting there with no darkroom- but plenty of
    metal begging for a dip! 

    I posted the question last year and not one person responded..hoping
    you will concur that it sounds like a reasonable heavy duty pickle
    for non-ferrous metals.
