Laurence Strong Posted March 7, 2006 Author Posted March 7, 2006 (edited) By the looks of it another cheapskate upon promotion, I wonder what these guys got paid back then. Makers initials or manufactures? Interesting difference in color when you go to a 400% scan. Edited March 7, 2006 by Laurence Strong
Wood Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 After a little cleanup with a soft toothbrush, is this similar to "Zinc Pest"? Not so sure I want to apply vaseline to the tabs, Anyone got some ideas????I spray mine with WD 40, BUT it turns the corrosion dark grey, and you may be surprised how much corrosion is actually present. If you brush all the dust away you may end up with just the cotton inner core of the bullion cord.Regards,Pete
Wood Posted March 8, 2006 Posted March 8, 2006 Welll, you point and spray. Perhaps, a better way would be to apply it with a fine brush to the affected parts. Although it doesn't seem to affect the material. Drives off damp and coats the surface with a thin film, it does evaporate after a time and reaplication is needed. I havn't a clue what it does to the blacklight test. Its good for zinc pest as well and that fine surface dusting of corrosion you get on some badges (Especially tinnies)Regards,Pete
Laurence Strong Posted March 8, 2006 Author Posted March 8, 2006 Thanks for the info Pete Another person suggested G-86 a gun product of some kind also works. I will check this out and let you know what happens
