O A dehydrated 99.6%

[Curly green finger's]

I’ve ordered a kg of this will it be ok ?

 

[Sutty]

I presume you mean "dihydrate". It will be fine - to clean your woodwork of course!
I got this: Oxalic Acid dihydrate 99.6%

Aye that’s the stuff I’ve run out and have this being delivered today

 

[Erichalfbee]

No. You can use only Apibioxal

 

[Sutty]

I got acetic acid to treat frames against waxmoth from the same company, oddly it was cheaper to buy the purest "glacial" acetic acid rather than the normal 75-80%

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

Make sure it's organic

 

[Curly green finger's]

Ok along with my organic sugar ha!

I’ll send my sublimox for maintenance and cleaning to whom I buy it from then

 

[JamezF]

It's an organic acid. How could there be a problem?

I'm off to wash my van now and let the water run onto the road.Thats illegal too so I'd better not

Yes, I use it to clean my hives and bonus, I have noticed that mites have also been dying. Must be the brood nest heating up too much and creating some kind of sublimation with the deposit left.....

But it’s quite legal for the Highways Agency to allow water (and all manner of carp) to run off the road into peoples driveways……

Did you dilute it a little? Did you need a mask?

 

[blackcloud]

I don't dilute mine
It doesn't play nice with bare metal so beware
I soak some dishsponges and put them in a saucer at the bottom of a dearly departed chest freezer.Place the boxes of combs on top and shut the lid- Quickly.
It's pure vinegar and very unpleasant in the nostrils so at least some protection is advisable
I just don't breathe while the lid is open
H&S nazi outburst..........GO!

 

[Sutty]

I didn't dilute it. I didn't use a mask as anything you breathe will be vapour and go through most masks. It was outdoors though. Eye protection could be advisable if you think splashing is a risk.
I had a stack of supers wrapped up in plastic. I put some AA in a plastic takeaway container on top in an empty super and sealed it all up.
Not that unpleasant to handle compared with some things!

Neat i.e. glacial acetic (ethanoic for the purists) acid does have the habit of solidifying into a glassy-looking solid when it gets cold so I make up an 80% solution during the warmer months for use during Winter. I must confess that I quite like the smell but it can be nasty stuff if handled carelessly. It will corrode metals, concrete and assorted bits of the human body if spilt on them.

 

[jenkinsbrynmair]

it will bugger up any metalwork in your supers and frames (including the nails and wire in the foundation)
