<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1889551, member: 15199"]Many of the copper compounds that compose Bronze Disease are hydrated molecules and can break down and release the bound water, which can continue the reaction. I suspect the heating before waxing helped that process. If I was faced with this process , I would use BadThad's verdigone or verdicare to remove some of the BD, ( insert any 'Physical methods you like ") and then put into acetone for a few minutes, and rinse with fresh acetone and allow it to evaporate completely. Acetone combines with any microscopic quantities of water and removes it on evaporation. Then wax if you like, but shouldn't be necessary if stored dry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
