<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2354252, member: 34882"]I use E-Z-est and never use it at full strength always at least 50/50 with distilled water or even more dilute. Firstly though I'll always use the boiling water, baking soda, and tinfoil method as it doesn't really harm the coins in anyway if you're careful with it. It can however remove some nasty toning pretty easily and then if your still not happy you could try dipping the coin. I usually give it a two second count in the 50/50 E-Z-est for both MS and Proof coins when dipping. I think the label of Ezest says 5 seconds imo that's too long. You can always re dip another couple seconds if you need too, but I err on the side of caution as there's no way to undip a coin once you've gone too far. </p><p>[USER=75607]@Sean5150[/USER] if you're getting spots everywhere are you sure you're deactivating and removing all the dip; as well as drying the coins correctly? I found anytime rinsing in just tap water it would leave spots so I make sure to finish with distilled water every time now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
