General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Good point Ena, Cu is more readily accepted to the hand yet will . discolour the skin, Do you remember the bus conductors of the 50's/60's ? and my Missus has a green finger from the wedding ring I made her from a 15mm olive from a plumbing fitting I made, , the Stainless steel scrubbers work well too but need more elbow grease, Brillo pads work very very well but. they are a use once only item, If you leave them on the sink top, they will rust and contaminate anything they touch, Perhaps they are under scrutiny by the H+S and thats why they are not readily available
