It was soaking in a plastic container. It seems that the stuff comes off fairly eazy and since the soappy solution was not dark I don't think that much of the copper etc was disolved. While the necks are thin I have never had a case with a split neck. In fact most of my case loses are from loosing them and not being picked up after shooting a stage in Cowboy Action Shooting or somone steping on the case mouth. Some of the cases that I have are pretty old. I shoot with about 5.3 grns of Clays so it is not a heavy load and the necks don't stretch much.
