vinegar and salt should make quick work of it... neutralize with
baking soda or just rinse really well.


Damn! I've been hamming for over 40 years, yet I've never tried
that. I have a need to clean up and re-use some 7 strand copperweld
antenna line so I ran out and just tried this on a fairly corroded end.

It worked super well, and cleaned up each strand, actually getting
down around each strand pretty well even though I didn't spread them.



Thanks for reminding me of this old tip.
