    why would you want to risk your work with  tainted materials?  1.
    Cut the edges off and put them in the scrap box.  Test the part that
    looks ok before going ahead with anything whose outcome you need to
    control  ( maybe the tarnish will give you an interesting effect you
    weren't anticipating? ).  Or  2.  Put the whole mess in the scrap box
    and invest the $35(?) dollars it would take to replace it.  I don't
    know how much you value your time, but I have certainly learned that
    trying to fix a problem is WAY less effective or efficient than doing
    it right.  Something repaired in enamels generally looks that way.
