    Bill,

    Mostly spot on. Spelling is Vertigris.

    Easily removed with lemon juice and sea salt solution or good quality white vinegar.

    Bill,

    Please don't see this as a pedantic 'dig' just want to make sure that others wanting to search for the details found them easy enough.

    I am grateful for the redline spell check on my puta, as I'm partially dyslexic and am hopeless at accurate typing!

    Not at all I should have caught it and didn't. I didn't catch it when I read the posting < 3 years ago when I was looking for the exact same answer.

    Well, if we are being pedantic, I must be the pedant's pedant - the correct spelling is verdigris
