May I add that I put Protek into a dispenser with a brass tip, and now
that is showing a green residue around it.  I keep threatening to put a
bunch of center pins into a jar of CLP to confirm another collegue's
results. 
	For SHRINKING  if that is what is needed, nothing beats alcohol and
water.   well execpt when a couple of drops of photoflo is added. But
don't blame me if you slop it onto nearby leather coverings and they end
up looking up like dried boot lacings after sloshing around in a Fall
Dakota snow storm.  Especially if you didn't  use the Moody Dripolator.

ps  Lighter fluid, (naptha) works best for verdigris clogged centers. 
See, I am so agreeable.  x-( ;Þ
