 > if you are using pure oxalic, instead of wood bleach.

Randy isn't the only one who had a problem expressing
this.  I had the same problem, and it has to do with attempting
to discuss the concentration of actual pure acid instead of just
giving the amount of dihydrate to mix in a given amount of
sugar and a given amount of water.

I don't know where one would get pure (anhydrous) oxalic
acid, except possibly a chemical supply house or druggist, and
maybe not even there.

So, I'd be interested to know if anhydrous is commonly available.
Has anyone here actually obtained pure anhydrous acid for this
purpose?

If all we can get is the dihydrate, then maybe we should just
speak of the solution of the dihydrate in syrup and leave
the actual acid concentration to the scientists..
