<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 302126, member: 4552"]Nice metal experts. Sarcastism of course. Using soap is about one of the dumbist things I''ve heard in a long time. Hate to use words like dumb but if so called experts say soap, that is just dumb. I would think any expert in anything would know that for one thing <b>ALL</b> soaps are different. Some massively so. Some soaps contain acidic properties, others have different caustic properties. Every manufacturer has a different formulae for thier products and many change this periodically due to other manufacturers copying thier products. Many had Mineral oils so it becomes difficult and sometimes improbable that anyone can figure or find out what is actaully in thier product. The summation of this is that the soap you use may distroy a coin and the soap I use may do nothing. Then there is that statement of "and water". Same thing there unless it's distilled water. Always remember the water that many have in thier homes goes through a water softener where it picks up NaCl. This is not nice to coins. </p><p>Verdigris is exposure of Copper to an Acetate and since this is an abnormal situation, usually only an expression people use that they've heard and it sounds intelligent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
