[TheForge] Chemical Questions ?

PPG product line has Phosphoric acid, in quart plastic bottles.  You dulute
it before use.  Note you do not want
a white crusty resedue left on the surface after you use it... So you need
to apply it, and wipe it off before it drys.  Too much whote stuff won't let
the paint stick to the metal.
