Hi Orchid friends,

    I currently have a student working in nickel silver. Does anyone
    know what color to look for when annealing nickel-I don't use it
    much. Also, does the nickel pickle get the metal truly clean? Does it
    work as quickly as regular pickle (like sparex with copper for
    example)? And finally, would you just neutralize it with baking soda
    the same way as regular pickle? 

    Thanks in advance for any advice on this. 

My Best,
