what container do you use when doing a OA bath

<< < (5/8) > >>

Ratios vary the timescale but i generally use anywhere between 250/400g of the powder per paddling pool bath depending on what i can get my hands on. 24 hours is usually enough, rubbing stubborn bits with a toothbrush a few times.
Top tips are to fill pop bottles with plain water and put in and around the frame taking up volume and saving citric acid needed. If you are really tight or are doing smaller things in little tubs you can keep it and use it again a few times.

The pool i used was only a 1 metre one that i distort to suit the frame shape and save more volume  :daumenhoch:

thanks for your replies for the citric acid

i've already got the oa from other little jobs, but if i can't get a plastic tub local.

i will try the citric in a blow up pool.

i would have thought the oxalic acid would be fine in the pool as it doesn't eat through decals, but after already having my garage floor cleaned to day from a failed attempt i'm going to play it save

i may just take the plunge on a cheapo kids blow up pool

for either citric or oxalic acid, how i see it people leave the decals in place and they come out ok. so it should be fine in the pool
