Sulfuric acid will clean the oxide off the copper and it will be bright

probably frosty.
If I remember correctly it's liver of sulfur your talking about and yes it
stinks. Don't remember it's chemical name and don't remember if it turns
copper black.

THAT'S IT!!!

Thanks, Karl...I just KNEW that sulfur was in there somewhere!

I guess it's been a LOT longer going back to 8th grade than I thought...I'll
blame it on the drugs...yeah, that's the ticket...aspirin will do it every
time. :

I recently ordered 4oz of Liver of Sulphur from www.dickblick.com for
$2.89. Minimum shipping is $7.98, so buy a few other goodies, too, to
amortize costs.
