Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74241 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 9:07 pm Plating blisters plus Zinc Rot corrosion. Just a spender. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34413 Posts	Posted 11/13/2018 9:16 pm @JK, glad to help! You should be able to depress the plating blisters with a wooden toothpick, and if you use something sharp to cut open the thin copper plating you may expose and visualize the gray zinc core. A couple blisters already look open.
