[QUOTE="Puffer Mark, post: 438525, member: 3593"] Send 'em along at $5 apiece, I'll give 'em a real good home. :lol!: Seriously guys, Bleach is an anti-oxidant, I'm guessing so is Oxyclean (here it's called [i]"Sterident[/i]", used for cleaning dentures). Sometimes a badly oxidized stem will veritably bubble up with released oxygen. In my limited experience, it seems to 'lift out' the oxidation leaving a rough but black finish that can then be be buffed to shiny smoothness by any preferred method and sealed with whatever (Olive oil, mineral oil, bees wax, carnuaba, whatever). IMHO. M. [/QUOTE]
