Re: NEW INFANTRY ASSAULT BADGE,,,MARKED "mkt"
Adrian, someone told me the other week that copper grease can be used to stop zinc pest in its tracks, this came from a metal polisher who works in the city,he deals with antique metals and refabricates and restores, i dont know how true this is, have you ever heard of this?

A new one on me Dave! There are so many different thoughts on getting rid of the pest and as many different recipes and concoctions so it wouldn't surprise me if copper grease was amongst them.
Looking for LDO marked EK2s and items relating to U-406.....

Most folks use a wiping over with Vaseline to at least arrest,if not stop zinc pest. Never heard of the use of copper grease,but it may be worth a go on an award that's cheap & got nothing to lose by trying it. Stewy

Like my mate Stewy states, I have only used the Vaseline technique and would be leery of the others mentioned here.

fischer, is this an example of zinc pest?
edit:I'll have to post non-flash pictures, there are some areas of white on this badge that do not show up in this pic

Re: NEW INFANTRY ASSAULT BADGE,,,MARKED "mkt"
Are there any special precautions with the vaseline technique? Or is it just rubbing the vaseline in with a soft cloth?
Any pointers welcome.
Thanks--

Just apply a good coating & make sure it gets into all the recesses. Then wipe off the excess. Stewy

Re: NEW INFANTRY ASSAULT BADGE,,,MARKED "mkt"
any problem with using soap and water, maybe with soft tooth brush to clean it up first?
wondering if any way to get some of the crevices cleaned, or better of leaving as is and applying the vaseline
