How do I remove lime/calcium ? and not patina
- Thread starter upnorth
- Start date
Have you tried white vinegar.
I have very hard water and no water softener. We use a little white vinegar on a rag to make all the stainless shine.
Only takes a few minutes for the vinegar to take off lime and calcium.
Not sure what it will do to the patena of a coin though. Maybe try starting out with short durations in the vinegar
then rinsing with water immediately afterwards.

I would like to help, but I do not understand some words.
I think each material and each concreteness has a cleaning method. Deposits that originate at sea are facilemente removable with vinegar. Also the crust that forms on the lead disappears with pickled. Lime or calcification as I have said, with vinegar. Vinegar is degraded by dissolving the lime must be added vinegar cleaner. The silver which comes from the clean sea with household ammonia. The dirt encrusted coins put it in distilled water one or two days.
I hope to be helpful

You can't. Vinegar will dissolve the lime and the metal. Using ultrasound will remove the lime and pit the metal. The best results will be from burring the find or tumbling polishing.
