Hi Gary,

I use a product called "Bar Keepers Friend" to freshen up my etched irons.
It comes in a powder and liquid form. Get the powder one. You can find it
in the cleanser isle of most grocery stores or Walmart. Wet the etched
surface with warm water then mix the Bar Keepers Friend into a paste, then
gently apply it to your etched surface. I use my finger to rub it gently for
about 2 minutes. Then rinse with water, then soak in alcohol, then dry in an
oven, then soak in ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid), wipe dry and your
good to go.

Cheers,
Jim K

Though I've been away for some time in recuperation I am still alive and
kicking and VERY grateful for this list's members for their help in my
hard times a few years ago. Getting well enough now to get back to my
collection and noticed a Gibeon slice has oxidized enough so the etchings
have severely faded. Anyone know how to restore the etchings without
re-etching?

Also, I noticed a new trend in selling mets on eBay. Most are selling for
Buy Now or Best Offer. What's up with the market?
