What brand of Kalkwasser does everyone use?
beaslbob Well-Known Member Aug 8, 2003 #2 I dont use kalkwasser. But isn't pickling lime the same stuff?
bang guy Moderator Aug 8, 2003 #5 I use agricultural Hydrated Lime. I don't recommend it for the average hobbiest though.

dburr Active Member Aug 9, 2003 #14 Yes it is...but I would think it isn't as pure or refined... The marine stuff is 99.9% and pickling lime is 99.5%. Pretty close.
