Thank you @balancedcreations for sharing how you make your own flux and pickle. - “Instead of using traditional pickle and flux I make my own, it is cheaper and less toxic. For the pickle I use white vinegar and salt. For the flux I mix borax and water. Both work so well! I will never use anything else.” I made my own pickle when I was pregnant and found two recipes online: 1️⃣ vinegar pickle - 2 cups vinegar, 1 tsp salt 2️⃣ citric acid pickle: 2 cups lemon/lime juice (fresh or bottled, 1 tsp salt. The salt helps them pickle quicker. Be aware salt dissolves copper and can pit the metal if left for too long. If you have other ways you try to make your jewelry making process less toxic share it with us!
