I know some uses for alum powder but none that have much of anything to do with watches. What’s up?

Alum powder eats steel.

Alum powder eats steel.

Just came across the thread on the broken screw. Now I get it.

That 6498 in the background has a broken ratchet wheel screw in the plate. I asked for help and @Yoda shared that alum powder will dissolve the steel screw (ferrous) without harming the plate (non-ferrous brass). So that's what I had coming in the mail....Alum powder.

It has a 1970s-1980s vibe to it. Nice!
