Hey everyone,
Im reaching out to you after a long search online, coming up empty handed and in kind of trouble.
I have a sword replica on display in my house for two years now, and it started getting little rust stains.
I red online that I should put some salt & lemon on top of it, and leave it out for 2-3 hours and the spots should come right off with a scrub.
The spots did go away, but unfortunately new - bigger ones appeared. The thing is, it seems like it caused the blade to change it's color. It's not something that I can feel when touching the blade, and scrubbing it did not seem to have any effect.
I also tried to put lemon and salt on the rest of the blade - figuring that if the entire blade changes color it should be fine, because it will at least look like its supposed to be like that and won't have the strange markings on it - but it failed.
Check out the photos to see exactly what I am talking about
I come to you asking for advice, if anyone knows how can I fix it or at least have it look normal, It would be extremely appreciated!
Thank you!
