(1) Fluxes of this type are usually based on borax , boric acid, or glass, which melts at copper alloy melting temperatures to provide a fluid slag cover.(2) To inhibit mold and prevent unpleasant odors in your garbage can, sprinkle 1/4 cup each of borax (a natural mineral found in the laundry aisle) and baking soda into the bottom of your empty garbage can.(3) One member created an alternative cement for the concrete floor of our sauna, using fly ash (from coal burning plants, not waste dumps!), citric acid, lye, and borax .(4) On non-washable materials try a little borax or hydrogen peroxide to get the last traces out.(5) The abnormal levels of borax and formalin for example have brought about concern for public safety.(6) The flux also might contain silica, borax , soda ash, potassium nitrate and household flour.(7) He crushed the mineral and then fused half of it with borax in a platinum crucible.(8) To remove mold that takes root in grout and on walls and windowsills, mix equal parts water and borax (a mineral-based powder sold in natural food stores) in a spray bottle, suggests Dadd.(9) Potassium salts, such as sylvite (potassium chloride), are used to produce fertilizers for the agricultural industry, while boron salts, especially borax , are a basic resource for the glass industry.(10) Elzbieta has to trim the spoiled sausages, which have been treated with borax and glycerine, as well as trim meat that has fallen on the rat-infested floor.(11) Use natural, unscented laundry soap and add borax , washing soda or baking soda as a water softener.(12) Because borax could not be crystallized in fluid warmer than 77 degrees, no processing occurred at desert sites during the heat of the summer.(13) If more alkalinity was needed, then borax , sodium metaborate, sodium carbonate, or even lye were used.(14) Much of this advice - paint windows white, soak curtains in borax , wear natural fibres, curl up on the ground during an attack - now seems darkly comical when set against the likely horrors and devastation of a nuclear strike on a city.(15) After the 1870s, gold was discovered in the surrounding mountains, and borax deposits were found in the valley.(16) With the addition of borax or carbonate it gives higher contrast but may generate dichroic fog.
