    Toothpaste it is. Now to just find the time to do 5 8 cavity H&G moulds! I'll just keep them well oiled and sealed in a Tupperware snap lid container until i can get to them.

    Actually I think i will use use Comet Cleanser. It is a mild abrasive and should work just fine. I will do one in Comet and the other in toothpaste.
    A bench report will come as soon as I get some time to do this.

    Hahaha....Toothpaste to fix 8 cavities....You gotta love the irony.

    I've had good luck with JB Bore paste to just polish them up. Never tried toothpaste. Its now in my notes though.
