1. I have some copper that have verdigris on them, ( i think thats what it is called)

how can i get this off? I am soaking it in vinegar right now, dont know if that will help or not..

2. I have a coupling and a threaded nipple that I cant separate, must have some sticky wort in it or something..

can I boil that in water to loosen it? or anything else?
 
A copper cleaner such as Brasso will take the corrosion off. I think silver tarnish remover will too but read the instructions on the bottle first.

Steel wool or sand paper will take it off too.
 
cool.. ill try that

it has been soaking in vinagar for 8 hours now.. and there are little white spots all over it that come off pretty easily.. any idea what that is?
