Whiskey Taichou Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Vendome Copper, http://www.vendomecopper.com/, told us we could actually use tomato products, like tomato ketchup or sauce. It's cheap, food grade, and readily available. Acids in the tomato are why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DISTILLERnhas Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 We do a light caustic 1-2% then rinse and follow with a heavier Acid wash (phosphoric) 3-5 %, Then a really good rinse before distilling. Works well for us. We use an Acid Metal Polish, from our chemical guys, for the outside. It's a powder you mix with water and it's AMAZING for polishing the outside. We follow that with Turtle wax to preserve the shine a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
