> 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.. *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
