Makes stainless welds look like they grew there. It's freaking awesome on copper too. I use it to clean old copper pipes when I am sweating new pipes to old.
Damn, I had no idea. Does the green scrubbie not scratch the stainless?
There's a blue scrubby, that has no abrasive.

Cool, so what make a paste with a bit of water and let it sit, wipe it off and that's all?
if there's a welder, there's a way

You might have to rub a bit but its acid so....try a test piece to see what you need to do.

Never have. I started using the powder on recommendation from a friend who also welds on kegs for homebrewers. It just looks better to return a keg to the owner with the welds nice and clean and bright rather than colored and I know the brewers all use it too. I would assume the liquid works just as well.

That stuff does work well, a friend and I are home brewers. He has a Nano Stout 3V setup mine is a Spike system we both use Bar Keepers to clean the kettles, never thought to use it to clean welds. Always learning something around here!! ;)

When Jeff and home-brew beer are in the conversation, expect to learn at least one new thing...

When I made my own beer...I added MUCH more sugar( malt wasn't doing the job) than was needed to give my beer the extra kick...Extra priming sugar helps a whole lot too. Now I just drink shine or vodka...not necessarily to excess 8-) Anybody "learn" learn anything? :lol:
