<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 2992501, member: 82549"]You might look into treating it with sodium sesquicarbonate. I've heard of people using it to treat BD. But I've never used it, and I can't vouch for it. I have no idea what it might or might not do to the silvering.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I wonder if you're being a little impatient. You said that the powder isn't growing, so what is your concern? The purpose of the DW is to remove all traces of chlorine. How often do you change the water? It usually takes me a couple of weeks to treat a coin. Your fibula is much larger and has many more nooks and crannies. I'd give it at least a month, changing the water every other day or so. You might also give it a light scrub with a toothbrush (no soap! just DW) once every week or two. It shouldn't take more that a minute or two to dump out the old DW and refill the container.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
