Pickling Bundle

This bundle brings together the essential tools for safe, effective cleaning of metal after soldering or firing. Designed for convenience and studio efficiency, it helps remove oxidation and firescale while protecting your work.

• Pickle Pot gently heats pickle solution to speed up the cleaning process and improve results.

• Pickle Basket keeps pieces contained and elevated, making it easy to lower work into the pickle and remove it.

• SilverPrep is a dry acid compound that creates an effective pickle solution when mixed with water, ideal for cleaning sterling silver and other non-ferrous metals.

Together, these tools streamline post-firing and post-soldering cleanup, leaving metal surfaces clean and ready for finishing.

Silver Prep is an all natural 100% non-toxic food-grade pickle mix that is used to dissolve surface oxidation and flux residue from a metal's surface. It can be used as a traditional pickle for fine silver, sterling silver, copper and gold. Silver Prep is used to depletion gild sterling silver to fire directly in metal clay or to fuse metal clay directly to sterling silver during firing. This formula is non-harsh and easy-to-use

Silver Prep allows you to fire sterling silver directly with precious metal clay. You can apply metal clay to sterling silver or embed sterling silver into metal clay and fire together in the kiln or with a torch. Any item made of sterling silver (including Argentium) can be embedded and fired in place. Silver Prep is easy to use, non-toxic, organic and earth friendly! Silver Prep can be saved and used again and again.
