Removing Lead Oxide From Minies

(1/2) > >>

arcticap:
I bought some cast minies and many of them are coated with a stubborn layer of lead oxide.
I thought that there might be a solution/mixture to help dissolve it. When my kids looked online they told me that there was a patent issued for lead oxide removal.
The patent said to spray with water and then brush with an abrasive.
That sounds ingenious doesn't it?
I'm soaking them in some water, but what kind of an abrasive? Baking soda maybe?
I guess that I'll need to use a toothbrush unless someone has a better idea.
If someone has another method that works, then maybe it can be patented too.  ;)

William Worth:
Melt them down and recast them.

arcticap:
Because it can damage a bore, is not worth the effort, impossible to remove or all of the above? :o

T*O*F:
Have you got a tumbler?

ol vern:
Why not just lube them up and shoot them?

Don't believe a little lead oxide would have much effect on accuracy.
