I cleaned the white residue (lead oxide) off using fine emery before recoating. Wear a mask and gloves (obviously) but it doesn't produce dust in the air. British Lead produce a product called Lead-Cote in a spray bottle which seems a lot easier to put on than patination oil and is certainly far less hazardous.
