Need help on how to preserve Zinc relics

[Mailio]

Thank you all for the replies, i think i'll try the vaseline method.
I'm a bit scared to use lime juice to boil it in because it contains C6H8O7 (citric acid) which dissolves zinc

Cheers

Yes it is acid, just like baking soda is an alkali. It is all to do with the concentration of the mix.
Vaseline and beeswax will only mask the existing corrosion - but whatever you are comfortable with.
