That's what I sue too. I am told it's used in homebrewing (beer, etc),
but a solution of it is great for cleaning up NiCd corrosion.
Incidentally, I found some acetic acid (fairly concentrated too), in the
'Kosher' section of the local supermarket. I have no idea what the
intended application of it is, but it's quite useful for cleaning up NiCd
corrosion too.
That possibly depends where you are - US folks
seem to think of
household vinegar as being the white stuff, whereas in the UK malt
vinegar is typical. I believe it's the white stuff that should be
used; too many impurities in the other...
What about citric acid? Doesn't
smell and it should be fairly free of impurities. Every drug store etc. should sell it. (I
use citric acid in
the dark room because it doesn't smell.)
As a stop bath?
