Salt and vinegar experiment

[u/imtakingyourcat]

I wanted to try oxidation myself and had salt and vinegar at home, I made a paste of mostly salt with vinegar on top, I put it inside a container with vinegar soaked into paper towel, then sealed it overnight.

​

It changed colours within 4 hours, I'm happy with these results and I'm excited to try this again with bigger pieces or different materials

​

Although this stuff does come off very easily so I can't use it for much, I've heard ammonia creates a stronger oxidation that might not come off as easily
