Hi,

I have this large bag of through-hole standard crystals, which have
their pins oxidized, since the bag was left open for a while and thus
solderability is a big issue.

The crystals are good, just that time has to be spent scraping the
oxide of the pins which is a waste of time.

Is there a better way to remove the oxide layer other than scraping,
probably by a chemical process or so ?

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,
Manu
