Baking Soda Wash After Acid Dip on Damascus Barrels

I have always been instructed to use baking soda to neutralize the acid wash on Damascus barrels, but the soda itself is too abrasive on the finish when I rub the barrels down, in my experience. Could I dissolve the baking soda in a tub of water and wash the barrels in that after rubbing the barrels with OOOO steel wool? Would it accomplish the same thing?
