Hi Ben, something that you may want to use is 1 table spoon of bicarb and citric acid per litre of warm water. its great for cleaning and environmentally friendly. I also need an Eban!

Thanks for sharing,I tend to use ferric chloride brings them out nice,and once used some coffee neat but fell a sleep and left it in over night,wow what a contrast from 1095 and 15n20.
Was well pleased with the results,thanks for the autosol and leather tip.
