Waredu Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 08/10/2010 12:15 am I have a question about this. Can an expert (or even a non-expert) tell that it has been soaked in vinegar? Is it visible? Or does enough metal get eaten away to change the weight significantly? To my naked eye, I can't tell - but I don't really know what to look for either I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff
afclassic87 Pillar of the Community United States 564 Posts	Posted 08/10/2010 12:28 am I have not noticed a weight change. The acid removes smallest amount of nickel. I don't think you would see much change compared to a non treated heavily worn buff. Report this Post to the Staff
