<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 2894750, member: 33176"]Worth a try, wish you luck. Things to try...acetone and xylene have been mentioned, they would dissolve any organic residue. Water is always good for the inorganic substances that are just stuck on. Any other thing you try, first try on a worn nickel so you kind-of know what you are getting into. Things that occur to me include a baking soda solution, a caustic lye (NaOH) solution or perhaps some lemon juice. Let us see it if you try anything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
