oxidation is on the leather or the metal part

it is a green oxidation?

 

if it is on a kind of leather green paste you can spent a flame lighter on the green it should melt

 

uil wrong but do it gently

after Frôté become green liquid with a TISUS

 

sest it on the loop of the 000 steel wool works well

Brush off the green Virdigris with an old tooth brush as much as possible. Then put a small amount of baking soda over the area. Then put several drops of white vinegar onto the area using an eye dropper. It will foam up and when it does, put some more drops of white vinegar onto the area. Let it dry our, then brush it with a clean paint brush or tooth brush. I use this on leather that has been effected by Virdrigis, especially old knife sheaths or holsters. Danny

My process works on metal as well. Most of the stuff I clean off is on snaps and rivets on knife sheaths. Danny

Ren Wax Cleaner and Ren Wax work well. I use just a small dab and work carefully around the area using a soft toothpick or similar item covered in an old T shirt or other soft cloth. If the verdigris is on/in snaps I put a bit of Ren Wax in the snap and close it. That helps cover the interior of both snap pieces. Then the gently wiping off begins.
