My limited experience of it is it stains very badly. This may be because it
is very strong I think it is possible to get a 60 to 70% saturated solution
compared to a 20 to 25% with amm and a approx 10 to 15% with pot. You can
also use chromic acid but this is a real NO NO from a safety point of view.
I certainly would not sprinkle it on my fish and chips %-<.
