Cleaning packing material

Post by Fleamike »

Does anyone have a recommendation on the best way to clean copper packing material and/or rashig ring packing. Can they used forever or should I replace the copper at some interval?

Diluted muriatic acid works well. Be careful with it, though. It can be dangerous.
