The copper oxidizes and turns green when moisture gets to it. If it bothers you, dip a q-tip in ketchup and put a good glob all the way around the inner edge. Wait a few minutes and wipe off. The gunk should come with it. If you're afraid it might stain, dunk the q-tip in white vinegar, squeeze some out, and rub around until the q-tip turns green and the gunk is gone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
