Brass Corrosion: Removal?
 

Got a couple of brass fittings where the moving parts are corroded to
where they don't move anymore.

Is there some household substance that they could be soaked in to
dissolve the corrosion?

I'd try using CLR.

Brass Corrosion: Removal?
 

Per Larry:

Just mixed it up: 1 cup water, 1 cup white vinegar, 1/8 cup salt.

Couple days soaking... and we will see.

Thanks.

WD40


Young's Law of usenet: After Nazis have been
invoked and called forth from the spirit world,
someone is sure to mention WD-40. The debate
"is it a lubricant or water displacer" is not complete
until someone explains what the letters abbrev. for.
Points are earned by quoting usenet posters of old,
Aristotle, or your own personal experiences with
WD-40. Web pages abound, and are on topic for
the debate. Regardless of how worthy an argument
is, no one is allowed to change sides. The debate
must continue to eternity.

On the farm that was a good job for "milk stone remover" - which was
just strong food grade phosphoric acid.

Per (PeteCresswell):

On the trigger snap that was really brass, it worked 100%: it's
fully-operational now.

On the other piece that I *thought* was brass, it removed the external
corrosion, but did not penetrate to the inner workings. Probably not a
brass/non-brass issue... just a matter of penetration. I'll let it
soak awhile longer and see what happens.

Bottom Line: the water/vinegar/salt solution works.

correction: one is allowed to change sides ONLY by saying " I never said
that", at which point the discussion turns not to the topic at hand, but
what one said or "insinuated" by what he said or failed to say.

I never said anyone was prohibited from changing sides.
I said that no one is allowed.

yes, but clearly when you said that you were averring as a the FACT that
nobody can change sides, which is not entirely true.

Rare, in this society, that anything works.
Thank you for sharing.

Wish my wax drip method worked as well as I'd
have liked.

I think that in this time of great turmoil,
when the nation is sinking rapidly to persons
of ill will, we can agree that my reputation is
above reproach, unlike my opponent across the
aisle. Your continued protests not withstanding,
it should be very clear from my reputation and
extensive public service on this list, that I
was not mistaken when I said some thing else from
what I say now.
