I received the last few pieces for my 5 G MLT yesterday, thanks to skifast1, and it will be getting assembled and tested this evening. Before I assemble it though I did have a couple questions for those using brass with their MLTs.
Did you guys soak the brass in a vinegar/peroxide mix prior to use?
Do you disassemble your MLT periodically and soak them again?
I have read that the initial soak will reduce the amount of surface lead but that use will cause the parts to deteriorate thus exposing more lead which is why you have to soak it again every so often. I was just curious what you guys do. I plan to soak mine tonight before building my MLT and then soaking it again every 10 batches or so just to be safe.
