Did you ever do a neutralizing vid? I can’t find it if you did. Thanks!

Would you prefer citric acid or alum? I've seen solution recipes that ask for both.
@grahamwilson78655 жыл бұрын
You are in fact fixing the hair in your pickle because you are using alum as an acid . It is in fact aluminium sulphate which is a tanning agent. It is used to tan cricket ball leather. Just thought you’d like to know.

How many times can you use a pickle solution? After it sets a few days using it looks like it has stuff trying to grow on the top just wondering if you ever had that problem.

Dude you have to maintain a PH of 3 in your acid bath throughout the pickling process. Alum is a tanning process, not a pickling process. You need to include that in your presentation, other wise you can get bacteria growth and possible hair slippage.
@baitball46654 ай бұрын
You telling this guy stuff like u know what your talking about but 3 is too high. 1.5-2 is where you need the pH
