Potassium metabisulfite solution mix ratio?

[Johnd]

so adding citrus acid to a k-meta solution will add affectedness to a k-meta solution ?
just wondering,

Yes, by using acid to decrease the pH (increase acidity) of the solution, the effectiveness of the sulfite solution is increased. Citric acid has traditionally been used to decrease the pH as it remains clear in solution, tartaric has a tendency to cloud after a while, making the solution a milky color. I don't know if it loses its effectiveness when it gets cloudy.

YUP! I'd rather be told one time too many than one time too few!


Some folks get upset over thread necromancy, but most technical discussions are just as valid today as they were at the time.
