Practice dipping on some loose change and practice a bit before trying it. Also, ALWAYS have distilled water at hand to rinse a coin off after a dip, I always have a fresh container of water right next to the dipping solution, and change the water after each coin. Do not be stingy on the size of the water container either, you are trying to stop a reaction, and the more water you have the better it will dilute it away. I would use half a gallon per coin to be safe and to ensure neutralization. Swish it around thoroughly, rinse off once more to be sure, then dry immediately.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
