Warning
IN THE FOLLOWING MIXING PROCEDURE, ALWAYS PUT WATER IN THE CON-
TAINER FIRST AND THEN ADD ACID TO THE WATER. ADDING WATER TO A CON-
TAINER OF ACID MAY RESULT IN A VIOLENT & DANGEROUS REACTION.
1. Prepare three plastic 5 gallon buckets as follows:
A. Bucket #1 - Water
B. Bucket #2 - One quart muriatic acid in four gallons of water (See Warnings
Above)
C. Bucket #3 - One pound baking soda in five gallons of water
2. After soldering is finished, dip the end of the line in the water to cool.
3. Set the cooled end of the line into the acid-water mixture for 5-10 minutes. This will
loosen the film and brighten the silver.
4. Immerse the end of the line into the soda solution. This will stop the action of the ac-
id.
5. Use a Scotch Bright pad or steel wool to scrub off the remaining torch black.
6. If the flux scale is particularly stubborn repeat the process.
7. When finished, rinse thoroughly when done with water and dry the line before assem-
bling.
