Making a little progress?

I mentioned in my last post that I was dealing with the beginnings of lead rot on some old figures that I just purchased.  I think Im starting to make some up some ground on them (look!  you can see shiny!)

They are now out of their baking soda bath, but I still have one more good scrub yet to give them....much to the chagrin of my poor fingers!  The tips of my fingers are getting totally shredded by the wire brush im using!  (Yeah, they are swollen and chewed up!)

The figs are just too small to hold and scrub without some collateral damage.  This fucker is the culprit!

Im going to give my fingers a rest tonight, and then back to finish the Elfquest figs off tomorrow night!
