camwynSentences I honestly had not expected to see at any point during my day when I got up this morning:
"In more than 30 years of cymbal cleaning I have used everything from ketchup to gasoline."
(I was trying to find out whether Noxon, a metal cleaner I remember using as early as Montessori preschool, would remove green discoloration from Artistic Wire, which is copper with a colored or clear coating. Turns out the process of cutting the wire into little bits and bending/looping/etc. the bits to make figure-of-eight chain exposes a lot of copper to the air and provides the opportunity for verdigris to form.)
