<p>[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 320140, member: 1296"]I have a brass lamp base that's mistakenly been filled with plaster during a restoring project. The problem is, plaster (or some element in it) corrodes copper and copped based alloys. There's quite a bit of it and removing it by carving little by little by hand is really not a possibility. Is there any way to dissolve it, or make it much softer or more brittle?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
