Default Re: Black oxide coating on brass

I dont think Lead Acetate is a good way forward I used to work with the stuff in gas detectors and can only re iterate wikipedias toxicity warning.

However I have just spent some time cleaning off some brass that had gone black due to leaking alkaline batteries - more nasty stuff but it certainly left a very hard to remove black coating on the brass parts.
