Do you think other acids would work? I’m thinking white vinegar. Thanks.

Muriatic. Bought a gallon at Home Depot for about $8. I have enough to last a long, long time. I get muriatic (hydorchloric) acid at the pool supply. Two gallons for about $6 and it is supposed to a lot more concentrated than the hardware store stuff. Then I dilute it with water to control the reaction better when sin git to clean rocks or remove fossils from limestone or to create relief with fossils. Not a lot of pools here in Michigan. We have a hot tub store here, so I'll check there next time I get some.

I get 44% concentrated vinegar off Amazon for around $20/ gallon. I’m sure it’s cheaper elsewhere, I just like it delivered. I usually water it down 40% or so. It’s slower but safer for me since I spill things. I soak it in a baking soda solution after to keep the fossil from yellowing.
