              I really like oxalic acid. You can dissolve it in water and drop a rusty locked-up pair of pliers into the mixture, and the next day it will be all freed up and moving. It leaves a weird yellow gunk behind, though. It’s got to be scrubbed off with steel wool. You can leave the pliers in there for a long time. I wonce left a pliers in there for ten weeks, and there was only minor pitting. I don’t know if the pitting is because of the oxalic acid or because of the chlorine in the tap water. And also you can drink it if you wnat to die like a dog.

                  I’m not a scientist, but it’s my understanding that when when you pour ethylene glycol antifreeze into a doggy bowl and let a doggy drink it, the doggie one way or another metabolizes it into oxalic acid and then dies like a dog, from kidney failure.

                yeah, that’s cool and all, but I was hoping for something more like…

                if you walk around with this crystal in your front pocket, it will act as a ward against evil and also make you rich and even more beautiful than you already are.

                Can oxalic acid be weaponized and used as a defensive tool, like pocket sand?
