I've got an 1858 Remington cap and ball that I've taken down to the white and I need some way of removing the hard to reach places. Is there some sort of solution I could soak the frame in that would remove the hard to get at areas? Would vineger do the job or maybe mineral spirits? Hell! Anything that would work would be great! I'm having a hell of a time getting into the small nooks and crannies to remove the last 5% of the blueing.
