<p>[QUOTE="gsimonel, post: 4545570, member: 82549"]Before you use anything made of steel or with diamond, you might go to a hardware store or hobby shop and pick up a brass rod and then file one end down into a point. Brass is softer than bronze and won't scratch it, but it will remove of lot of the dirt. Certain patinas, though, can be softer than brass, so you need to test it first to make sure you don't scratch the patina.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
