<p>[QUOTE="LukeGob, post: 24637453, member: 73885"]I've used it on some Byzantine Folles that had similar surfaces. I had similar results, at first. Didn't take long for the green to come back, though with a smoother surface & darker shade, & over time they seem to be losing detail (it's been a while, 5? 10? +? years). I was just looking at 2 of them recently, a Maurice Tiberius & a Tiberius II Constantine; used to be able to make out almost all the Ob Leg, now, a couple pieces of letters here & there are all that's left on either. They're just smoothing out, I don't know how else to described it. Pocket-pieces I guess. Not sure what the hell happened, but Sodium Carbonate soaks & light bushing here & there was all I did to them. Have you ever had anything like that happen with Sodium Carbonate before? I remember the shade of blue-green that the water turned after they had soaked was cool.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
