Cleaning/restoring fragile toy? - 10/29/2011 12:39:44 PM    Bottles r LEET   Posts: 983 Joined: 2/12/2011 From: Plainfield, New Hampshire Status: offline I dug this toy submarine today. The problem is the metal has started to rot near the seam. How would I go about cleaning it? Is there anything I should put over the crack?

Either way Dont touch it until you are absolutely sure what you want done. just try to keep it in a dry place until then. I know this isnt much help but i've had metal stuff crumble in my hands after trying to remove the rust myself including an old cap gun or two. (in reply to Bottles r LEET) Post #: 4
