Polishing pattern welded blades - help needed!
#9
Quote:You can't wrap it in paper towel soaked in vinegar or lemon juice? Just an idea someone mentioned on another thread.

It would work for a little while, but as the acid's etching capability is expended there'll be no convection to allow fresh etchant to contact the blade.

I would also recommend not just "rinsing off the blade" but actually neutralizing the acid with a baking soda and water solution.
