NSR Red Matrix Removal

[Planko]

Hi Everyone, 

 

I have several verts that are encased within the red matrix from NSR. Has anyone soaked that in a vinegar solution? If so, did  it work? Did it hurt the fossils? If there is another way to remove it let me know.

My friend does a 30 minute vinegar soak between each brushing before rinsing. I have lots that need prepped but I don't have the time unfortunately.

Thanks Jarrod. Going to be a long process.

I have always scribed the matrix off. It separates well from the fossils in most cases.
