I have been using a solution of Red Devil Lye in a 5 gallon plasitc bucket of
water - I start out by putting th water in first (hot water fro my tap)
followed by the Red Devil. I let the lantern soak for 1 to 2 days. Disassemble
the lantern first, removing the spring globe retainer, font, and any other
removable items.
I then give the part a thorough rinse of cold water from my garden hose - use
rubber gloves and eye protection always. Dry the parts with my air compresser
and paper towels.
I then soak the parts in clean water, and scrub the lantern with BRILLOW pads.
Another rinse with cold water and dry the parts well.
I have 25 lanterns, and have used this process on at least half of them with
great success and results. This procedure was sent to me by someone either on
the KL&L web site or on one of the Lantern Yahoo groups.
