[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4154462, member: 2844"]Why so complicated when you have vinegar? Most (if not all) joolies use a vinegar bath for verdigris. In cases like this I find that rubbing the affected area with a little oil first helps loosen the verdigris. Rinse and dry after the vinegar bath. And yes, just the affected area.:) The aluminium cleaning process is controversial btw, and I have no idea what it would do to the nice sheen on the brass.. Controversy aside, verdigris is copper sulfate, not silver sulfide. I have no idea if a method binding silver sulfide to aluminium will also bind copper sulfate to aluminium. Frankly, I doubt it.[/QUOTE]
