Alright, so i just got some brass fittings and a friend of mine told me to let them soak in a mixture of 1 part hydrogen peroxide and 2 parts vinegar. I did this, but he did not specify how long to let them sit, and I got home and brought them out after about 6 hours after being out for the day. They were definitely not the 'buttery yellow' he said they would turn - they had darkened and some had even turned pink.
After looking into it further online I found out it should have only been in the solution maybe 5 minutes or less. Some sites say you can just re-soak the brass in a new solution again to solve the problem, but I'm not sure from a lot of other stuff I've now read.
Have I ruined these fittings and should get new ones or is this something I can fix? Has too much lead been exposed?
