[QUOTE="chrsmat71, post: 2890876, member: 42634"]Some of that looks like active bronze disease! Does any of it come of as a powdery type substance when you scrape it with a fingernail? If so, remove what you can with something like a toothpick/toothbrush. Soak in distilled water for a day or two and repeat scraping and soak again with fresh water until nothing else comes off. Dry thoroughly. I bake mine in the oven for 20 minutes at 120 F. Watch it....this stuff tends to come back. If you can get some verdicare as theodosius mentions, apply that afterwards.[/QUOTE]
