Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 4:12 pm @gigi, I suspect that it is some sort of dried glue, but if definitely metal, then it could be braze. In that case, the weight should be dramatically higher than mint specs.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19118 Posts	Posted 03/06/2025 4:40 pm An accurate weight might tell the story (if that feature is additional metal). At this point, suggest soaking in 100% acetone. Report this Post to the Staff
