<p>[QUOTE="bcuda, post: 7795090, member: 105389"]I do not think that the tooth pick is going to be good enough for you. you need to get a dental pick made of metal (usually stainless) or some other type of a metal pick and dig out all of the green powdery stuff all the way to the items shiny metal. Then you need to soak it in distilled water changing out the water every couple of days. The distilled water leaches out the sulfates that are causing the bronze disease. You need to soak it probably at minimum of a month or more. Yuo can also check it every once in a while when you change out the distilled water and see if you need to dig out anymore of the area. After you manage to get rid of all of the green powdery stuff for sure then you can dry it out by baking it at a super low temp for about 30 minutes so not to change the color of it. Then you need to find a way to keep air from getting to the area by applying some verdicare to it or possible something else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
