Try a home made jewellry cleaning solution that works on almost any metals
from gold on down. I had a small jewellry shop where I made the rings and
ornaments out of Silver and Gold as well as out of Steel. To clean the
metals perfectly I used a mix of 50% water, 25% Ammonia, and 25% dish soap.
It is the same mixture that lots of jewellry shops use for cleaning your
jewellry when you take it in. It will not damage the metal at all and it
will remove crap and rust from old meatls to make them look really new
again. For small articles you put it into a ultrasonic cleaner which you can
by even at wall mart for cheap. For larger items put it into a pot and start
heating it up, but not to boiling and put your article into it and swish it
around for approx. 10 minutes or so. Once done take it out and just wash it
with water and soap and then dry it and then you are done. THOMAS' Wrought

I just finished a scabbard for a very nice pattern welded sword made by
Dr. Jim Hrisoulas aka "Atar". It appears that there was just a tech of
moisture in the leather when I put the sword in it last night.


This is a scan of the worst of it:

The grey spots in the scan are slightly browner in real life.

Tips/hints on proper removal?

I'm s'posed to deliver it tomorrow (Wednesday). 8-o
