[QUOTE="Harryj, post: 576818, member: 14623"]The acids in Tarn-X may effect zinc. I would not suggest using it on a primo steelie. If you remove the zinc coating that protects the steel, the coin will be worse off in 10 yrs., as the zinc coating protects it. Tarn-X is not recommended for use on steel. [URL]http://www.insight360.com/jelmar/tarnx/Xbasic.html[/URL] Is Tarn-X safe to use on brass? No, Tarn-X is not safe to use on brass. This is because brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, and the acids in Tarn-X effect zinc. Warnings:Do not use Tarn-X in a stainless steel sink. Do not use Tarn-X on silver knives with stainless steel blades. Do not use Tarn-X on stainless steel flatware. Tarn-X should not be left on an item longer than the recommended two minutes. ALWAYS test a small area before using Tarn-X. Do not use Tarn-X on poorly plated silver or silver that have scratched or marred surfaces. Prior to using Tarn-X, use a hot-soap-and water wash to remove any dirt or grime. Rinse with cold water and wipe dry before using Tarn-X. Immediately after using Tarn-X, rinse the item thoroughly with cold water and hand dry with a soft cloth. Clean spills immediately. Some laminated surfaces (counter tops) are coated with a synthetic material which may be affected by Tarn-X. When cleaning more than one item, thoroughly rinse each piece with cold water and towel dry before continuing to the next item. Make sure the item you are cleaning is in good condition. Only use Tarn-X on recommended metals (see product information). Do not mix gold and silver items together when cleaning with Tarn-X. Always use full strength[/QUOTE]
