Thanks all!
The idea of WD-40 makes sense...but I am way too scared to put that stuff near my mouth. I would probably get rather woozy from the smell, knowing me!
Vinegar sounds like a good plan, maybe I will try that followed by a mouthwash to clean through.
Most of them look fine, but the oldest ones seems to have a small amount of calcification. Our water back home can be quite hard at times, so this does not surprise me.
Time will tell with the success of my steaming. So far the glue looks fine. I attempted this with another staple a few weeks back, and it hasn't compressed down yet. I did try the wet-and-flame method, Chris. I got nowhere, until I held it to the flame just a microsecond too long - charred staple! Clearly I am not cut out for that technique!
