Corrosion on a set of tabs

[Laurence Strong]

Heres a set of tabs I recived today, lots of corrosion on the bullion

[Laurence Strong]

Here's what they look like after I scrubed them with a babies toothbrush. Is this similar to "Zinc Pest", any ideas how to stop the spread, do I want to use vaseline??? Any help appreciated. Thanks for looking

I hope you're going to wash that toothbrush off before you give it back to the baby!

I was told that G-86 (a gun product) works well with aluminum corrosion. I have not tried it yet but was told put some in a small cap an touch it up with a fine paint brush,

Thanks Dave Have no fear the babies are long grown and gone Any idea who makes this?

[DaveJ]

Laurence,
I do not. I was told about it at the SOS and have not gone to look for it yet. The guy I talked to said he used it on a field marshal fender pennant that had corroded and it has not returned after 15 years.

Thanks dave, I am also hearing that WD40 might work also.

Laurence,
The stuff is called G-96. Did wd40 work?

..not if you apply it very sparingly with a Q-Tip, just enough to wet the end. First brush off all the corrosion you can with a child's toothbrush.
