<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 3021394, member: 5398"]Gorgeous pendant. I agree with the others who said they use oil, but I use Singer machine oil on verdigris, corrosion/grunge because the bottle has a small tip. After applying the oil I work it into any grooves with a stiff artist's brush that I've cut down to where the bristles are closely packed so it's kind of like a small stencil brush. To get the oil and grunge off the brush while I'm working on a piece, I pounce the brush on a pad of paper towels. I also use a wooden toothpick for stubborn spots as kyratango mentioned.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]289865[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]289876[/ATTACH]</p><p>To clean any oil residue off the glass stone, I sprayed lens cleaner on a microfiber cloth and wiped off the stone.
