Solutions for cleaning movements.

Daniel's Solution (for cleaning plates and parts)

Oleic acid 1 oz.
Acetone 2 oz.
Ammonia 4 oz. (not scented)
Water 25 oz.


Do not soak brass in these if brass was pre-1860.
Early brass is not like today's. Early brass is easy
to tell if it has a "hammered" appearence.



Here's my recipe:

4 Oz Acetone
4 Oz Oleic Acid
4 Oz TSP or dish soap (I like Daw*)
1 gallon water

Mix ingredients, then add:

8 Oz Ammonia
( I use household strength Ammonia and it's fine)

Rinse with:
99% pure Isopropyl Alcohol

You can substitute extra virgin olive oil for the Oleic Acid.
