Ken,
I may have mentioned this at Charlie's fly-in, but here is another method.  SOMEONE, (forgive me if it was on this list) suggested that I try Hobb's #9 gun cleaner from Walmart.  Just soak the plug ends for a couple of hours, and the lead melts off.  No need to blast with beads and rough up the insulator.  The stuff only costs a couple of bucks.  I have no hard data yet, but have cleaned some old plugs to try.   Bill Eslick

I'm at home (sick) & cleaning up my inbox.

Bill, did you ever try the plugs cleaned with Hobbs #9? If it works I might try it on a/c plugs.

Thanks,

Charlie
