Thank you so much for your comment @The Efficacious Gentleman ! Would someone know much is the recommend measurement of both chemicals to be effective? And how about EDTA? Which is more effective between the two? EDTA or BHT + Sodium Citrate? And how much EDTA is recommend usage? Thanks!

Thanks! That is exactly what I have been thinking! :) Much appreciated! Hi there! I'm from the Philippines. I think I seen Crisco on the specialty stores that sell mostly items from the U.S.

Thanks! I'll have this noted. Thank you! This is very enlightening! I guess I have to go back to the grocery and take a few more pictures and read more on the ingredients list.
