Cleaning Lead Flashing
« on: November 30, 2020, 07:39:11 am »
Ive got some lead flashing under my window sills that has gone a very light grey/white color. (lead carbonate i think)

Can anyone recommend a good product and method of cleaning up the lead before applying patination oil to make it look a bit fresher?

Thanks

Fine wire wool or bronze wool rub wet with white vinegar
