I have large quantities of semi hardened copper wire around 5/32 inch diameter 
which I wan't to use to make new inductors.This wire is heavily oxodised and so 
far I have not found a satisfactory product to remove the oxodisation.I have 
done the armstrong method using wet fine emery paper but that only gives a 
mediocre result.
I would like to find a solution to mix up say a gallon at a time whereby I 
could soak a hundred feet of this wire at a time to remove the oxodisation.
I make quantities of various inductors for local hams here but cost of new 
material these days makes it too expensive.It's a good feeling to use the 
material at hand wherever possible..
I guess there are plenty of brand names of products,however to find a similar 
product here I would need to know what the ingredients are.
Hope all are having a good Easter...
