Thanks very much. It turned out my father had some Ortho brand horticultural oil in the basement that was labeled for non-dormant use on citrus (as well as lots of other stuff) so I used that. I was surprised at how little oil you mix with the water.
I should mention that I have previously tried a mix of dish soap and rubbing alcohol for scale with poor results. Also, it was very unpleasant to use. I used it in the winter, in the bathtub, and I ended up leaving the room because the fumes were so bad. But there was still a fair amount of scale when I finished, and it seemed to be spreading again.

Thanks, everyone, for the advice. I already went over it with my fingernails, and will do so again. But I'd like to try the dormant oil, too. If you wanted to buy dormant oil on short notice (i.e., not mail order) in suburbia, where would you go? I've seen lots of other sprays in the hardware store, but don't recall seeing dormant oil.
Yellow pages may have listings for "garden store" or "garden center" or "farm and garden" or "farm supply". Or maybe a greenhouse or nursery in the area might carry it?
Some mail order is pretty quick.
