Ed,

I don't know of any chemical cleaner for lead but I do know that=20 lead

will turn to liquid at a relatively low temperture = (~750degrees).

You could try an experiment with a propane torch and = compressed

air to see if you could melt the lead and then blow it off = without=20 damaging the plugs.

You should probably wear a respirator so that you do not inhale = the lead.=20 They say it is drian bamaging (brain damaging)

Just a thought.
