<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1049677, member: 27832&quot;]Ah, I&#039;m feeling the old stirrings to get out the chemistry set again. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If I can ever find a source of dateless Buffaloes at a reasonable price -- ten bucks a roll, the going rate on eBay, seems high to me -- I want to try a couple of things. A vinegar soak, for sure. Ferric chloride (the stuff in Nic-a-date), maybe. But also diluted hydrochloric (muriatic) acid, which should be faster than vinegar, and maybe even sulfuric acid.
