[modeleng] Re: Broken taps

No, you are not imagining it although never having tried it, I cant tell you 
the exact procedure.

I believe it is, a strong (saturated?) mix, and pour on /in ( a dam made of 
plasticine round the hole might be a good idea) and leave for some time(?).

No doubt someone has the full details.

Subject: [modeleng] Broken taps


I seem to remember that previously the use of a solution of alum has been
recommended to remove a broken tap from a bronze casting.

Am I imagining this? If this is a way out of this predicament, what is the
method used and the mix of the solution?
