Kropotkin Posted April 28, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 28, 2018 Hello, I have a pair of WW2 B&L sunglasses and they are generally in good shape. However, there is some light corrosion/verdigris on the frame. What would be the best treatment to get rid of as much of this gunk as possible without being too aggressive? Cheers!

Bluehawk Posted April 28, 2018 Share #2 Posted April 28, 2018 If the color of corrosion is greenish, then it is probably verdigris - which can often be removed, depending on severity, using white vinegar and a Q-tip. Chances are, on an older artifact, that the corrosion may have bitten into the actual metal, perhaps discoloring it or taking away some of it permanently. Best thing though, is that by treating the infection you will then have stopped the corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
