While removing some action parts with light verdigris today I had this brainstorm to put a couple drops of Goof-Off on them to see what happened. I was surprised to find that the loosened up almost immediately. Reading the ingredients I found that Goof-Off contains Xylene so I tried that which worked almost as well. These parts were not that heavy with verdigris and I'm wondering if anyone has any parts with heavy verdigris available that they could try this experiment on--or has anybody tried this particular solvent and with what success over the long term.
