Hi folks,
I recently bought a old collection of arrowheads that were glued to fabric in a display case. After soaking them in hot water they came off the fabric pretty easy but I then saw that several of them had been sprayed with a clear gloss on the displayed side. I have heard that old timers did this but have not ran into it until now. I'm thinking that soaking them in lacquer thinner will take it right off but I'm worried it will also remove the patina? I'm looking for suggestions about how I should clean them. Any help is much appreciated.
