Hi everyone,
I am restoring an old Pearl snare drum. I used WD-40 to clean the inserts and Dawn/Bon Ami to clean the tension rods, and these have turned out great, but the rust on the springs has not come off even with multiple soakings. So I bought a bottle of Whink, and since the directions on the label are a bit vague, and are definetely not aimed at drum restoration, I was hoping someone could clue me in on the specifics of how they use this stuff.
Do you let it soak in a glass jar? if so, for how long? Do you scrub using a toothbrush? Is it safe to add a little water to the Whink?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And by the way, I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for all the valuable information you all share (I've been a lurker on this forum for a couple years, but have just recently become a member.) Thanks very much in advance!
