[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 884612, member: 112"]Some of the chemists here can say better than me, but it may also be because you mixed it with water. Not everything mixes with water. There are several things it could be really. What LostDutchman said is true in some cases. It could also be that you did not dip it long enough or you dipped it too long. It might even be the dip you used itself, not all of them are right for the job. This is the thing with dipping coins. Not all coins should be dipped. Only some of them should even be considered as candidates for dipping. It requires a good deal of experience to be able to look at a coin, first determine if the coin should be dipped, then determine what dip to use, then determine how long to dip it. And you also have to rinse the coin right away to stop and neutralize the dip once you are finished dipping it. And this neutralizing agent can vary depending on what dip you used. Sure, you can experiment with old worthless coins to try and learn these things. But it takes a lot of experimenting because of all the variables involved. You are usually better off to just forget about it and leave the coins alone. Or, have someone who knows what they are doing do it for you.[/QUOTE]
