Tool Restoration Supplies
I have been using industrial vinegar from the Big Green Shed since I can't find a source of citric acid. When I ask there, I get blank looks.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I imagine that ordering it in powdered form over the internet (a kilo of suspicious looking white powder coming through the post), may not be the best option.
Thanks,
Craig

Citric Acid is a food additive so it's pretty safe.

Many wood and tool clubs supply it however you can usually buy it in more useful quantities than Coles from a Mediterranean grocery store.

In the paint section, near the garage floor paints - it's sold as an etchant for concrete:

And you'll find that normal vinegar is cheaper than 'speciality' cleaning vinegar (the only difference is the price!).

It's much cheaper if you purchase it for use on your body!

I purchased from a business that supplied pool and cleaning chemicals, when I was selling the stuff. You should get a 25kg bag for about $70 or so.
