Clearing Iron (was Exchange with MW)

Repeat clearing early morning typos:
 
 

If this is about clearing iron, what is wrong with the method that people
have been using for the last 140 years, i.e. clearing in 1% HcL ?

I have EDTA cleared prints, the result of a swap with an expert, that after
15 years have now turned an unpleasant shade of brown. Not very stable, Loris.

Delving into the kind of detail there has been in this thread, is really in
the territory of asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
 
Keep it simple !
