Closed Un-ban the use and purchase of Borax (not borax substitute) in the UK

Closed on

Us Blacksmiths usually use Borax to De-oxidise hot metal mainly during forge welding. during this process too much O2 can cause a bad weld. if we can all buy Borax easily, this will cut out a large percentage of cost for forge-welding using Borax.

It can also be used as a great detergent or as washing powder.
