Keith,
You can pickle with citric acid obtainable from the DIY wine store. Just
mix the crystals with water.
Thats the easy bit, now for the hard one. the hobby is safe [in my opinion]
although I do not have a certifaicate stating I'm competent to hold that
opinion; neither have I had any training with regard to this subject. I
think if the beurocrats have their way though you might get a hernia
carrying all the paperwork round with you just to be able to even look at
such a dangerous thing as a steam engine.
Regards
IDP

Thank you all for your help with my spinning question, yes it is harder
than
I thought as you all suggested. On the subject of accidents, I am building
a
simplex, never driven one, never lit a fire in one. yes I am new to this
and
would be glad of a training program of sorts. I can understand people that
have been building / running locos for years been a little miffed at the
thought of having to take a test but is it that dangerous?? Do boilers
explode on
a regular basis? I have just had a telling off for suggesting using brass
for
my inner dome, if i did the world would end or de railments happen tipping
people off onto the floor. this is a topic close to you all by the amount
of
posts you are getting. Im alarmed do i need to join the dangerous sports
society. Oh just a quick one anybody know where i can get pickling solution
from
in the uk? dont think reeves do it anymore, must be far to dangerous
