Acid salting is when you add HCl gas to an Amine to turn the freebase Amine dissolved in dry ethanol into an HCl salt. An example is bubbling HCl gas to turn freebase Propylhexedrine dissolved in ethanol into Propylhexedrine HCl. It also works with Amphetamine (A), Methamphetamine (MA), Ethylamphetamine (EA), MDA, MDMA, MDEA, Mephentermine, Modafinil, Propranolol, and more. Adding HCl acid solution works too, but it's more difficult to get powder and crystals.

Refers to where you have to again apply (because the previous layer of said cleaner that you'd already spread on the joint accidentally got wiped off or contaminated) ferrous-metal-cleaning paste/fluid before using solid/acid-core solder to join non-electronic-type items, such as sheet-steel or piping.
Soldering is often cranky and tedious enough as it is, and so having to keep applying tinner's fluid is enough to give you acid-reflux from sheer frustration!
