| Re: Sticky and bad valves after vinegar bath
I use a higher then labeled CLR bath to clean my horns. I soak them for a few hours or even overnite and they come out extremely clean. It hasnt hurt my silver, gold or lacquer horns one bit. What it will do is turn a raw brass horn with dark patina into a light pinkish color.
As to the lacquer thinner. As stated above, be very cautious. Use chemical gloves. It is medically proven that wiping your hands with lacquer thinner traces can be found in your liver within 5 to 15 seconds from contact. |
