    I think Richard was really looking for a magic bullet, like the old
    nitric acid dip which actually attacks the silver faster than the
    firescale (sounded good at the time, I guess). Alas, I have never
    heard of anything effective besides just scouring it away in various
    ways. Along the lines of the quote above, though, is to do all your
    heating and soldering first - solder your earring post on the raw
    casting and THEN finish the casting - stuff like that. But that and
    the fluxes that actually work apparently and stuff don't answer
    Richard's question as I understood it, "I've got it, now what can I
    do about it?" Scrub, scrub, scrub, as far as I've ever found.
