    I have never tried it!!!
    Sounds like a chemical reaction or possibly a allergy to metal!!
    I'm allergic to nickle can't have coins with nickle in them in my pockets. I break out in small hives!!!

    Good luck and HH Chug

    You might want to mix a very minute amount of those ingredients, dilute it with water and just barely touch the inside of your forearm with a drop and see if it turns red or makes a bump. I'm not a doc so it's just a suggestion. If it kills you I didn't suggest it. It must have been someone who looks like me!

    If you're just cleaning clads throw em in a tumbler with water & baking soda. Good enough for the bank or coin star. citric acid with a 1/2 teaspoon of dish or liquid laundry soap works good if you're alergic to the other stuff.

    Montys suggestion is excellent.
    I know it's here, just need a bigger coil!

    Vinegar is acetic acid, (aka ethanoic acid).
