How to Clean Temp. Gauge Capillary

["David Moag" <moag@ix.netcom.com>]

Hi Listers,

The capillary tubing that attaches to the temperature gauge in my TR3B is
truly ugly. There's certainly a ton of surface rust, if not worse. Is it
safe to put this in the blasting cabinet (after covering up the gauge
itself)? I have heard on the list how expensive it is to replace the tube if
it is damaged, so I figure I'd better ask before further increasing my debt.

Thanks for any advice on how to make it look respectable.
