toadfrog Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Got out a bunch of slabs the other day to paint them . Been around a while and found they had oxidized . Paint does not like to stick to dirty lead . What to DO! Got several hundred to go out . This is what you do . Build an acid bath like this using plain old apple cider vinegar as your medium . Then wash them in distilled water air dry. Overnite should more then take care of the problem . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toadfrog Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 X2 bob it flushes the particals from between the product there by not trapping as much of it in the middle when you lift them out . There will be crud floating around no matter how clean the lead appears . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
