Title: Does Oxalic Acid go off?
Post by: BMX1973 on January 16, 2016, 07:01 PM

As it says in the title. Does Oxalic Acid go off?  :-[ Basically I have a dustbin with it in which is about a year old. It's sunk to the bottom but give it a stir and it mixes again. Is it still any good?  :-\

Thanks in advance.  :daumenhoch:

I think once you've used it and it's sat for a while it does get a bit weaker but it should still work though might just take longer.

I've stuff I've had for ages I keep in a drum and use to clean the concrete paving in the yard.

Maybe I'll add a bit of fresh to it.  ;D

How do you clean your paving then? Just tip it onto it and give it a scrub?  :-\ Sounds like a plan if it works.  :)

Yup, just tip it out and give it a scrub, leave for 5 mins and hose off, it's bio-degradable so your not killing the planet   :daumenhoch:
