Spence Moderator United States 33166 Posts	Posted 04/25/2024 12:00 pm @jdr, did they post a weight? I wonder if that crystalline structure is on the surface as mentioned by @chase, or something else.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 17526 Posts	Posted 04/25/2024 12:45 pm Yes, a long soak in 100% acetone might reduce or eliminate the apparent crud. No harm in trying. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 59745 Posts	Posted 04/25/2024 1:12 pm It's crud of some sort. PMD. Should come off with a pure acetone soak. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 04/25/2024 7:54 pm The reverse looks like an acid spot. So I agree some kind of acid exposure. Report this Post to the Staff
