Help cleaning 1920s tin sign - Thu May 20 2010 01:07 AM
Need some help on how to clean my latest Craigslist find (right here in Norman no less). It's a cool wood framed tin sign from the 20s I believe. It looks NOS and has some kind of white grime (not paper marks) that looks like it should clean off.
What's the best way to clean the sign without damaging the paint? I've foolishly used 0000 fine grade steel wool on a painted sign in the past and could see fine abrasion marks afterward. Just good ol' soap and water instead?
Please advise.
