Thanks Murray! I am pleased you are having good success with your repatination.. There are many factors that cause a coin to develop a particular coloe...
... I've been using the bamboo shafts with good success. However, I'm not talking about the crusty coverings, but after this has been removed, there's still a...
Hey my friend! Paul, you may like a little brighter patina than some. If you do then continue to zap unitl all cryst is removed then you have the option of ...
For a couple of coins I have soaking they produce a white powder that comes back no mater how many times I wipe or clean it off. What is it and how can I get...
It will eventualy stop, just keep soaking and scrubing. I think it is possibly lead, SC, or even some other type of dirt that is beneath the patina (you'll...
Hey my friend! Murray, I have not had this problem so I can only guess. Could it be the SC drying on the coin? On occasion I have pulled a coin from the ...
Paul/Jerry, I've been using these to take off that black residue right after I take them out of the electrolyte. Not sure of any long term adverse effects...
I am currently experimenting with Jerry's repatination techniques and have come up with a combination of Jerry's two techniques which is: Reversing the leads...
Are these bronze coins and does it appear as if there are areas being etched or holes appearing? If so, it could be bronze disease in which case you'll need to...
If it is white, it isn't bronze disease. BD has a greenish tint. The white stuff is being leached from the coin's matrix so sometimes you will see it near...
Never say the "BD" word, just about gave me a heart attack. Powder definetly white. Only from a few bady deteriated cull coins that I use for experiments, so...
Have the same problem and have brought it up before. Still have it after I zap, but must say after this time, does not hurt the coin. I like after treament to...
Hey my friend! Great Murray! Please give me a day or so. I am a bit under the weather and hope I am feeling better in a day or two. I am eager to try ...
Hey my friend! John, I considered the BD as have but I think the coins are frshly zapped and that would preclude BD. I use zapping to remove BD in fact.. ...

You WILL NOT get BD from or on fereshly zapped coins and I don't think I have ever had BD on a zapped coin. I have already stated that I use zapping to get rid...
I hate to chime in on this Jerry, but I am 100% certain that I've seen BD develop on "freshly" zapped coins. About two years ago I bought a large lot of...
Jerry, try zapping some BD coins in a salt water solution and then set them out to dry or drop them in DW. I think you'll see how easy it is to grow BD...
In my experience, the only thing that realy solves this problem is not zapping off the patina in the first place or simply scrubing, soaking, and repeating. I...
Jerry thanks! I do use white vinegar after zapping. have cleaned them several times since in fresh batches of distilled water. Amazed how it keeps coming...
Hey my friend! I would never quesion the veracity of one of my brothers Scott but since I began using SC a few years ago I have NEVER had BD other than when I...
