    begging to differ there Beth, Sdium bisulphate is a chemical the
    exact same as sparex. if you would neutralize sparex ( and you
    should for the environment) you should also neutralize pHdown. It is
    simply a far cheaper way to buy sparex #2..none of the other H20
    theorem matters or has a thing to do with the bottom line which is a
    chemical is a chemical is a chemical..and pickle needs neutralizing
    in the jewelry studio unless using it for plating.
