[TowerTalk] Cleaning Copper

[Ted Leaf]

Hi Kurt and TowerTalkians,

If mild lemon juice works, I would think that vinegar would work faster.  It 
sure works for removing water scale.

Can anyone measure the PH of bottled lemon juice and vinegar?

I've had really good results cleaning oxidized copper using some
lemon juice (out
of one of those plastic squeeze bottles) and hot tap water in a
plastic cup,
mixed 50/50.
Rinse off afterwards.
I reconditioned a bunch of heiliax connectors this way, and
cleaned some stranded
wire ends. This is not as strong an acid as the tinners acid
mentioned before, so
it takes a little longer.
