<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2336579, member: 24314&quot;]<b>Thanks,<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> [USER=46237]@Jaelus[/USER]</span></b></p><p><b>Can anyone else comment?&nbsp; I have some problems with the directions and do not think to OP&#039;s question has been answered satisfactorily yet.&nbsp; Just curious...</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>DIRECTIONS FOR SPOT TREATING:</b></p><p>NOTE: Recommended for minimum product use and direct spot treatment.</p><p>1) Place a small drop of product on the tip of a wooden implement such as a toothpick. DO NOT USE PLASTIC TO HELP AVOID SCRATCHING. Carefully touch the moistened tip to the spot being treated forming a dome over the area. Allow the area to soak from 1 to 10 minutes (<b>do not let product evaporate</b>).<span style="color: #b30000">OR what will happen?&nbsp; Anyone here know?</span></p><p>2) While still wet, work the residue using a gentle up and down tapping motion until the desired results are obtained. Rubbing can be more effective but take care not to physically rub-off underlying patina! <span style="color: #b30000"><u><span style="color: #000000">Less physical action is better to reduce the risk of damaging the surface.</span></u> </span></p><p>3) SEE DRYING BELOW</p><p>NOTE: VERDI-CARE™ will not remove black carbon spots, etched finger prints or other permanent organic deposits due to its gentle nature. It is designed to leave the coin patina and natural, original imperfections intact. It will only remove loosely adhered surface debris and light to moderate verdigris. <span style="color: #b30000">Like acetone which is MUCH cheaper?</span></p><p><br /></p><p><b>DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A DEBRIS REMOVER (RECOMMENDED METHOD FOR CIRCULATED COINS):</b></p><p>NOTE: If the coin is coated with oil or another substance, it should be removed prior to conservation with VERDI-CARE™. Please check the FAQ document for more important</p><p>information.</p><p>1) Place a small, circular amount of product just larger than the size of the coin on a coin-safe, non-abrasive, soft cloth (a high quality micro fiber towel such as the VERDITOWEL ™ works well). <span style="color: #b30000">(?) Anyone know for sure? </span>Grasp the coin by the rim and rotate the coin in a clockwise and counter-clockwise twisting motion against the soaked surface until the desired results are obtained and the entire coin surface is covered in product <span style="color: #b30000">and in all the fresh scratches you just put on your coin from moving the debris (trapped in the rag) all around the surface in a circular motion!</span>. Make sure the coin ONLY contacts the cloth where product has been applied to avoid dry rubbing.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A SOAK AND CONDITIONER/PROTECTANT:</b></p><p>NOTE: Recommended for uncirculated and delicate coins - but less effective at removing surface debris.&nbsp; <span style="color: #b30000">I thought this product removes surface debris: See Directions for use as a debris remover above!</span> VERDI-CARE™ IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PROOF COINS.</p><p>1) Place the specimen into a filled, covered container -OR- add just enough VERDI-CARE™to cover the surface of the coin. DO NOT ALLOW THE SOLUTION TO</p><p>EVAPORATE. <span style="color: #b30000">Or what happens...inquiring minds wish to know.&nbsp; Does the chemist/collector who makes/sells this product ever post on CT. </span></p><p>2) Soak one side of the coin for a few seconds or until the desired results are obtained, then flip the coin to expose the opposite side to the product for an equivalent time (if required). Soaking either side for longer than 24 hours is not recommended. DO NOT OVER EXPOSE THE COIN. It should be removed from solution as soon as the desired results are obtained. As with ANY chemical (even water), a change in the patina and/or coin surface may result from unnecessary over-exposure.<span style="color: #b30000"> Oh no, I&#039;ve had some coins soaking in water for a few days WITHOUT any change. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> better go check them...Bye.&nbsp; I&#039;ll be waiting for some answers from people who have actually used this &quot;wonder&quot; product.&nbsp; So far, it is a nice preservative.&nbsp; At the moment, I&#039;m running a test that will take several more weeks to complete - just to make sure I can comment intelligently on this product. </span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
