Anyone familiar with how to use Verdi-Care.
I purchased a bottle from Thad but, the bottle doesn't have any directions on it.
Thanks

DIRECTIONS FOR SPOT TREATING:NOTE: Recommended for minimum product use and direct spot treatment. 1)Place a small drop of product on the tip of a wooden implement such as a toothpick. DO NOT USE PLASTIC TO HELP AVOID SCRATCHING. Carefully touch the moistened tip to the spot being treated forming a dome over the area. Allow the area to soak from 1 to 10 minutes (do not let product evaporate). 2)While still wet, work the residue using a gentle up and down tapping motion until the desired results are obtained. Rubbing can be more effective but take care not to physically rub-off underlying patina! Less physical action is better to reduce the risk of damaging the surface. 3)SEE DRYING BELOW NOTE: VERDI-CARE™ will not removeblack carbon spots, etched finger prints or other permanent organic deposits due to its gentle nature. It is designed to leave the coin patina and natural, original imperfections intact. It will only remove loosely adhered surface debris and light to moderate verdigris.Please read the FAQ document for more information.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A DEBRIS REMOVER (RECOMMENDED METHOD FOR CIRCULATED COINS):NOTE: If the coin is coated with oil or another substance, it should be removed prior to conservation with VERDI-CARE™. Please check the FAQ document for more important information. 1)Place a small, circular amount of product just larger than the size of the coin on a coin-safe, non-abrasive, soft cloth (a high quality micro fiber towel such as the VERDITOWEL™ works well). Grasp the coin by the rim and rotate the coin in a clockwise and counter-clockwise twisting motion against the soaked surface until the desired results are obtained and the entire coin surface is covered in product. Make sure the coin ONLYcontacts the cloth where product has been applied to avoid dry rubbing! 2)SEE DRYING BELOW
DIRECTIONS FOR USE AS A SOAK AND CONDITIONER/PROTECTANT:NOTE: Recommended for uncirculated and delicate coins -but less effective at removing surface debris. VERDI-CARE™ IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PROOF COINS. 1)Place the specimen into a filled, covered container -OR-add just enough VERDI-CARE™to cover the surface of the coin. DO NOT ALLOW THE SOLUTION TO EVAPORATE. 2)Soak one side of the coin for a few seconds or until the desired results are obtained, then flip the coin to expose the opposite side to the product for an equivalent time (if required). Soaking either side for longer than 24 hours is not recommended. DO NOT OVER EXPOSE THE COIN. It should be removed from solution as soon as the desired results are obtained. As with ANYchemical (even water), a change in the patina and/or coin surface may result from unnecessary over-exposure. 3)SEE DRYING BELOW
DRYING AND STORAGE1)Pat gently with a fresh, coin-safe, soft cloth to remove excess product and allow the coin to dry at room temperature (both sides). Normally all traces of water will evaporate within 24 hours; however, longer drying periods (days-weeks) may be safely used (recommended). Avoid exposure to sun light during and after drying. DO NOT heat to dry. 2)Store conserved object in an air-tight container protected from light under controlled temperatures -
Go into the coin cleaning and conservation sub forum and do a search on "verdi-care".....plenty of info and examplesComment
