CLR works well but like anything that dissolves the fouling it should be treated as a toxic substance. The lead is much easier to absorb through your skin than in a solid form.


You mean like "The Dip"? (50/50 mixture of white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide) Harmless until it dissolves the lead and becomes lead acetate.
