Any silver stains can be lightened or removed by the old method for removing mercury pigment. This particular timing will remove it all so I would start the sequence of steps in 5 second increments, repeat or lengthen times as needed. 1. Hydrate to distilled water. 2.Place in Lugols iodine for 5 minutes. 3.Rinse in two changes of distilled water. 4.Place in 2% sodium thiosulfate for 1 minute. 5.Wash in running tap water and rinse in two changes of distilled water.
