Thanks for any advice.

Kirk,

I use these on the fuse terminals and things like bulb holders, works great on copper tabs also

We take it out and use our vapour blaster on low pressure. They look like new after.

Thanks Alan but I am going to rely on elbow grease in the absence of a vapour blaster.

You can also soak them in acid too. Alternatively, buy a a proper fuse panel from us. :)
