Need help in dealing with oxidizing SS bullion wire tab

[richthofen_117]

I personally would not put any chemical to a very delicate fabric.
IMO air dehumidifier is good solution. (Set on the 40 - 45% of moisture.)
If you live near the coast, always keep the window closed - the wind can very easily bring sea moisture with salt particles from the salt to the room.

Thank you Schlange, I have ordered a dehumidifier, hope that works.

No problem, I hope you can solve the problem.

You should try the Gibbs on something else first, a repro bullion tab maybe.

You should also consider buying a dehumidifier and maybe some zip lock storage bags for your uniforms into which you can place silica gel.

Good advice! I'll put all my uniforms into storage bags with silica gel, thanks!

Best, Yun

Some time ago I posted in the preservation section about the use of CORTEC VpCI 238 electric spray. I dabbed some onto a q tip, treated 1 Gruppenfurher tab where a drop of my sweat caused the start of corrosion. It cleaned it up and completely halted the advancement of corrosion and the tab remains free of oxidation yet today. The 1st posting was several years ago.
Here is the link and note, the 1st photo bucket link is a dead end, the 2nd 1 is not:
