    This likely refers to bombing, which no responsible person will post
    the details of, I hope. It's very effective, yes, but to use the word
    safety in the same sentence is humorous. They call it bombing for a
    reason. But yes, it's a very effective stripping procedure. Anything
    I've ever seen relating to diamonds will come off in pickle, though,
    or else the stone is truly damaged, in which case bombing won't help
    either.
