Title: Acid Cleaners
Post by: Ohaus82 on March 03, 2011, 06:46:10 PM
Any one have a good source for Acid Cleaners in smaller quanities? I have the Nelson Jameson Catalog, but the quantities are so huge!

Not off hand. Some suggestions would be to find some place as near to you as possible (where are you located, it's not mentioned in your profile), and to buy the chemical in concentrated form to save on the cost of shipping.  Of course then you'll have to be responsible for the diluting, but could be worth it to save on cost.

Thanks for the reminder! It is updated now! Im in Madison, Wisconsin.
Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for, I just dont want to buy it in a 2.5 gallon thing and then have to ship it. Would Farm and Fleet carry it?

Not sure about Wisconsin, but with all the dairy in the state, surely there's a supply house to support them.  Maybe call a dairy or two and ask, surely that's not classified information!

Why the apprehension? Dilution directions can be a little tricky, but you'll figure it out.

Thanks for the boost of confidence. I bought some serious gloves too :)

Safety first! Let me tell you, I've had bleach in my eye, and it isn't fun. A face mask isn't a bad idea either.
