[QUOTE="TracySes23, post: 945228, member: 52763"] I agree. I've often used it. Any strength you chose to use, will never etch copper or brass. Two minor downsides of of citric acid. It won't remove any lube residue. It will also start growing mold on the surface if you allow it to set at room temperature for a couple of weeks. When I'm not using it, I store it in the refrigerator. I've allowed brass to sit in the solution as long as 2 days. Once the oxidation is removed, it is completely passive. It's cheap enough to pour down the drain, if you don't care to strain off the mold. The first time I used it, was a solution of Real Lemon concentrate mixed with water. I was amazed at how fast it worked. I've never tried it, but some people claim to have made a sweetened solution that tastes like lemonade. Citric acid is in all fruits. Over time the concentration weakens & takes longer to work. I think that's probably true of other solutions also. I rarely clean more than 60 cases at a time, since the only shooting I do is from a bench. That's about 3 hours of shooting for me. I don't have a clue why more people don't use it. Spencer [/QUOTE]
