Thank you very much sir. I can see I am three feet into this protocol and have just ordered some pickling lime because, if you can imagine this, no one in the cities here has even heard of it. Now I certainly heard of it so I can't imagine why it's not available or why all the stores I spoke with never heard of it...*sigh* I think most I spoke with were younger generation of under 30, could be why.
Thanks again for posting this vital info, i've printed it out.
