<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrjason71, post: 2909433, member: 90347&quot;]Thanks guys. I have a ton of coins sitting in distilled...some have been there for weeks...Whenever Im ready for the next experiment I grab some and air dry (on edge), then soak in acetone overnight, air dry, then in xylene overnight (my latest/newest step now that I have some in the house and since the DW and acetone weren&#039;t getting off the mysterious &quot;dirt&quot; on all coins dipped), air dry. These coins were all selected as dipping candidates. They are junk (value) and AU or better and are toned. The xylene may be the missing link--I dont think so though, so I jumped the gun and bought Coin Care (I hope to eventually experiment with everything out there so no big deal) thinking it did what I believe Blue Ribbon does/did--clean and coat. I was thinking I could clean with Coin Care (Blue Ribbon) to handle this &quot;dirt&quot; and then DW, Acetone, Xylene as usual and that that would remove whatever &quot;coating&quot; Coin Care (Blue Ribbon) left behind. Then dip and hopefully a spotless coin out of the dip bowl. I still think this is what is going to have to happen just need the right product. Just really need to have coin be 100% free of foreign debris (other than toning; is that foreign?) before starting. I can see why you&#039;d think dip residue--since that ruined my first handful of dipping experiments. EZ-est is a tough thing to remove. Was driving me insane actually lol. My post dip of a coin takes about 10 minutes--I am probably actually overkilling the post dip stage. I&#039;ll be back with pics and details. I never meant this to be everything it became. I already had a &quot;Question for the Dippers&quot; thread...This was just, in my mind, a thread to learn about the new product I purchased--Coin Care <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Might be fun to read my first post on this thread to see how far its gone off the rails lol. And I will admit--I should have clarified what I meant by dip (its got thiourea in it!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks all for your help! Really having fun learning and I am looking at coins (especially on eBay) in a whole new light!
