Most silver cleaners contain ammonia, that can't be safely mixed with bleach, besides if you do you just make a harmless salt that does vey little, along with chlorine gas that destroys lung tissue permanently. > I've used this successfully; mix up, in a 35mm film container, some of the paste type silver cleaner (Wright's) and several drops of bleach. Not too runny now, you want it to just be a thin paste. Then apply it sparingly, and use an old hammer (from a piano, not the other kind) to rub the key top vigorously, as if you were using an eraser. The bleach goes into the key to get the marker. Let me know how it worked.< Blaine Hebert bhebert@compuserve.com
