Well I was researching a means to cleaning the gunk at the pivot without depinning. I thought about the phosphoric acid based solutions including cola. Celluloid can become explosive under certain conditions and when exposed to acids and other strong solvents so it seemed prudent to do a little research.

I didn't expect to find out water and soap can be bad for celluloid.
