Uses of Borax powder

[Ryan R]

Figured i'd share this from the DIYLife site.

The two that sparked my interest the most were using as an APC and cleaning oxidation from metals...

I purchased the Borax to clean my outdoor patio furniture and came across a lot of uses ...

Sometimes 'Borax' may be used, to later catapult one into very lofty "postions":

As I sit here laughing,...Yes Ryan, you ARE to young.

Ronnie was the on screen host and pitch man of/for "Death Valley Days." Twas one of MANY westerns on the telly back in the fifties. Sponsor was Boraxo Inc. and the product(s) were "20 Mule Team Borax." The 20 mule teams were what was used to haul the raw borax out of Death Valley, CA to the processing plant.

If I remember, wasn't too bad a show. Actually a lot of semi-history involved.

Lol I figured! But I did google borax history last night and read all about it.
I'll take that as my history lesson of the day!
