A caustic soda bath works, too. About 3 ounces of soda to 1.5 pints of hot water. Quick scrub with a wire brush first. To remove the black deposit afterwards, dip in dilute (15%) nitric acid. Or drop in vinegar and give a rub over with a pan scrubber. 73 Peter G3RZP -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/amps Submissions: amps@contesting.com Administrative requests: amps-REQUEST@contesting.com Problems: owner-amps@contesting.com |
