try some diluted purple power, don't soak in in it, just poor it over the head and scrub. It will start foaming a brown foam, rinse with warm water. Slowly let it dry, repeat as needed. I just did one that did not want to stop dripping a dark brown oil. A few trips through the purple solution and it is much better. A couple more acetone baths and some denatured alcohol and I should be good to go. One thing about the acetone soaks is you do not need or want to leave them in for hours on end. 20 minutes is fine, let it do its job and the dry out. Better lots of short soaks then a few long ones. It takes quite a bit of solvent but that is what works for me. Good luck Rick.
