I’ve been mixing it with hot water to get as much as will dissolve.
I don’t think you can make it too strong.
My stanchions etc seem to take longer to get any rust stains and the stains seem to be less than before I passivated them.
Plus I have had very good luck with non specific as in Lowe’s SS which Im pretty sure is 18-8 if I soak it overnight in the acid solution, then just put the hardware away in spares until it’s needed.
I’ll use 316 when I can find it, but it’s not easy to find.
