For those that can't find Lemi shine.

I get citric acid from my local wine making shop. I use 1/4 tablespoon of citric acid and 1 tablespoon of dish soap.

That sounds like the amounts most folks are using

A tablespoon is only 15grams.
Might be alot to some, but that's what I use.
To each their own.

The distributor of the pins in the States suggests 1/4 teaspoon lemishine and 1 -2 tablespoons of Dawn per gallon of water . Using excess lemishine etches the brass .
But as you say To each their own

I got looking for citric acid tonight and couldn't find the Lemishine, koolaid or wine making supplies.

I did find "President's Choice Cool Delight Tangerine Grapefruit" first ingredient listed is citric acid. Comes in 24g packets, 10 to a box for 1.50 or so. Enough tarnish-be-gone for a long time.

The key is not to drink the used water even if it smells delicious.

In another forum the scarcity of LemiShine came up and one poster said he was using Kool-Aid. I looked up the MSDS sheets for Kool-Aid and the Lemon-Lime flavor is 97% citric acid.

So I wondering how many SS tumblers have strange colored hands, I found my LemiShine at Walmart here in the States and stocked up and still have flesh colored hands.
