Techniques for CollectorsRecepie of Waller's solution

Hi

Please state the correct recepie of waller's solution stated by waller.

I have found a number of recepies in the forums here.

You'd be better served to just find some Super Iron Out (or I believe just Iron Out these days) rather than going through the trouble of finding the ingredients and mixing your own Waller's Solution; they essentially do the same thing.

Here is a link to the original publication of
Waller's solution as a pdf file


But, Paul is right, if you can get Iron Out then this is easier.

May be in your country it is different, but here in Italy stores don't sell Super Iron Out (well, I never found it, at least). You can find it on Amazon for instance, but it is very very expensive!

Also, although sodium dithionite can spontaneously ignite on contact with moisture, so it is important to keep it dry...

Great. Thanks for the article.

Iron out isn't available in my country.

You may find that some of the cleaners sold to clean car wheel rims may be very similar
