Joe d:
soaking it in a warm to hot alum solution will (albeit slowly) work.

Ed ke6bnl:
where did u get the Alum

Joe d:
I bought it at the pharmacy, where it is stupidly expensive.  If you have a WELL equipped grocery store
in terms of pickling and preserving supplies, you will get a much larger container for far less than it cost me...

woodguy:
Bulk Barn Franchises carry it.

kayzed1:
Many thanks one and all, David, i can not go through from the other side as it is a Cylinder with a flat one side for the valve chest.
I will give the Alum a shot in the week.
Lyn.
