I’m actually working on restoring a wonder lamp right now. And along with that, I would like to mention that I am only 13, and with little prior experience with any tools, your videos have taught me how to restore things! When it’s done I will be posting it on Instagram and I will tag you in the post so you can see it.
There is basic chemistry behind cleaning metal oxides with acid (vinegar). Bicarbonate neutralizes the acid, therefor t can't clean the oxides from the surface of the object. Vinegar and bicarbonate is used in cleaning only because it bubbles and that can help with clogged drains or similar but not when you need a precise chemical reaction or in other words when you need all the strength of the acid in braking down the oxides
That's what I was going to comment! You can use the bicarbonate to stop the process when you are done treating the metal. Otherwise, realistically, you don't need to do anything but drain your acid & water bath and rinse with water when you're done, then continue your restoration process. Bicarbonate is used in the water to create your reaction when electrolysis rust removal is being used however!
Yup, I was just about to write about that. First to use the acid for cleaning. Some says Bicarbonate cleaning the silver and other shiny metals, but I think it's more due to abrasive properties, than chemistry...
Totally was going to say the same thing. You'd remove the corrosion much more easily with something like 0000 steel wool would also take off the corrosion, and is probably actually less abrasive than scotchbrite. You could also try a chelating agent like evaporust or MC51. Their websites both say that you can use them on brass, and they won't work on brass... which is super confusing, but since they definitely won't damage brass, it might be worth a try.
Agree with Ian Allen, it's a spray often used to spray a soap solution for tackling greenfly on roses ... when I was a boy in the 60s these were still very common as they were also used during WWII by the homeguard fire services so there was one on every street corner ... between the two uses just about everyone who tended a garden had one. And they made excellent high pressure water pistols. The ONLY way to preserve the patina of copper is to use it regularly, the acid/grease on your hands combined with the friction of use are good for many metals. Daily use results in a natural darker gloss patina which also protects the surface, you can polish it off to get a better shine but then it starts to oxidise. The cleaned results at 10:44 show a decent "nutty" sheen - but the scouring pad has damaged the surface opening it to verdigris formation. If it has to be polished a coat of marine varnish cut to 50% with white spirit will seal it - but it's then vulnerable to corrosion and will be difficult to clean once it starts to tarnish.
This syringe would have been used as a bug spray. Insecticide and water will have been mixed in a bucket and then drawn up in the syringe then sprayed on plants. Nice resto and you have done it well. :)
Hi I have just seen the syringe video, my teenage years came rushing back. In the late 1950s my formidable grandmother then about 90 years old kept one loaded in a bucket of water in the kitchen of her cottage. The cottage Ryder Brow was originally built in the countryside but the expansion of Manchester left it surrounded by terraced housing but it still retained a small garden which she loved. However, all the local cats also loved scratching around and messing it up. She would squirt at them as they walked along the back yard wall. The cap with the single hole gives long range jet. I believe that she got the syringe to act as a fire extinguisher when Manchester was being bombed in WW2.
Oh, that comment brought back loads of memories, I lived in Gorton as a kid in the 1960's Spent many happy days on Sunny Brow park, just up the road from Ryder Brow, great for sledging in the winter! Or a walk down Hyde Road to Belle Vue, to see the zoo, or go in the fun fare on the ''Bobs' or the ''water chute'''. Wow 50+ years ago!
1/3 salt, 1/3 vinegar, 1/3 flour, removes soot and patina from copper brass bronze, so im told by mr i make a new one lol beautiful resto as usual, love tysy's work!!!
Thank you for your great videos. It would be interesting in each video to put on the screen how you acquired each item, and what you paid...I'm always curious. Cheers from Canada
Cet arrosoir à piston est fantastique ! Nous sommes aujourd'hui le 1° juin 2019 et je viens de passer l'après-midi à regarder vos vidéos et celles de votre ami " my mechanics " . Je constate une chose: Les objets sont beaux et conçus pour être réparés : ils sont complètement démontables, avec des éléments qui peuvent être facilement dupliqués ! Le tout jetable n'était pas encore à la mode, loin de là : tout était fait pour durer ! C'est d'ailleurs l'extrême solidité de ces objets qui vous permet de les chiner aujourd'hui et de les restaurer pour nôtre plus grand plaisir ! Quant à votre question, si elle est toujours d'actualité, je ne vois qu'une solution : Vernissez votre " seringue à rosiers " . Je pense d'ailleurs que les difficultés que vous avez rencontrées pour nettoyer le réservoir viennent du fait que tout l'instrument avait dû être vernis pour sa protection .
Don't add bicarbonate to the vinegar! The bicarb neutralizes the vinegar and reduces its ability to remove oxide. If you want to protect copper (or in this case brass), give it a coating of ordinary hair spray.
One option to protect it from oxidizing is Renaissance Wax. They use it for the very purpose of preventing oxides from developing on antique copper in museums. Very easy to apply and buff. But, I would only use this if it were a piece that is not going to be used often. If it will be put to regular use, a spray lacquer might be best.
For display purposes (not a lot of handling), a paste wax will keep it shiny. Plus it is easy to re-apply. Clear lacquer is more durable, but once it chips, it is a lot of work to re-sand and re-paint. For cracks in wood I like to mix some of the saw dust with wood glue.
There is no way of permanently preserving the shine of brass. I've seen many methods tried to preserve the shine of brass, lacquers, varnishes, etc, but in the end (As the above methods eventually decay and become dull and extremely difficult to remove and clean the metal again..) the only way to preserve a shine is the hard way and to use brasso or some other metal polish of your choice when it looks like it needs it, get the duster out and polish it. Oxidization will always win in the end.
John Banks I agree there aren’t many good ways to prevent oxidation of brass, only elbow grease to keep it polished and shiny. And I know most people seem to like the polished shiny look but I was always taught that unless it affects the function of a part or tool, removing oxidation from metals like brass and aluminium was vein and pointless and potentially detrimental to the longevity of the tool. Oxidation forms on the surface from the metal reacting with the air and moisture forming an oxide. But the oxide layer on the metal isn’t deep and typically once formed prevents further oxidation of the metal by forming a thin barrier, after all an oxidation of a metal can’t be oxidised. So by removing the layer of the oxidation for the sake of polishing a metal to look nice, all you’re really doing is resetting the process and stripping away some of the metal itself albeit in oxidised form. Only a tiny amount but do it often enough and you’ll have no metal left to polish. So if the metal doesn’t need polishing to function really you shouldn’t do it. Good example of this is in jewellery and watches wear scratches and daily wear marks are left on the surface and all that’s really done is cleaning up grime rather than polishing out to get rid of scratches and wear.
There is storing it in a pure nitrogen atmosphere to stop the oxidation process, but you are right, in the end, short of putting the piece into outer space, it will eventually find oxygen coming after it again. lol. Good old scrubbing and elbow grease to keep it looking beautiful.
120 years ago they knew what to do.. they used a form of electroplating.. the nice dull red was the copper they deliberately deposited on the brass to prevent corrosion.. copper sulphate and a battery plus a copper plate or similar.. the red dull copper coating on these old water tools is deliberate, for the same reason we use copper water pipes and chrome our brass taps.. copper oxide (brown.. some valency or other) is virtually non reactive with clean water
For oxidation, just use a metal polish from time to time. Here in USA we have many like flitz, nev-r-dull, etc. Just pick on that's ok on brass. Nev-r-dull is nice because the wadding with the chemical comes in a can and you can just pull a piece and use it. I've used flitz on brass before with no issue. I also like the idea of a synthetic paint sealant for cars like nu-finish. As long as it's synthetic should work. Just rub on thin layer, let it flash and haze, then buff off.
Wow, I have been following you for about 2 years now, but hadn’t seen this video until now. It is amazing to see how much your productions have improved over time 🙂 but also how the bench grinder slowly got worse 😄😄. Keep up your good work mate, love and respect from 🇦🇺👍
At first I thought it was what I remembered as a vintage garden duster which has always had a feeling of danger and poison about them, glad to see I was wrong. It's gorgeous!
Aliclean for getting the crap off of alloy wheels gets the oxidisation off of brass pretty well too. After buffing, the best metal polish is Solvol Autosol. Get it on Ebay. If you need to keep the finish for display, wash all traces of polish off with brake cleaner or similar and buff with a soft dry cloth, then spray with clear laquer.
might be the biggest transformation ive seen in one of your vids from beginning to end, also interesting to see how your vid style has changed in the 2 years since this was made
When cleaaning copper with vinegar use table salt for the best results not baking soda (i clean antique pannies this way) and when you have a very dry wooden handle like that use some orange oil to help restore some natural moisture to the wood before filling the cracks
Try catsup for brass cleaning. You have to spread it evenly but it works for my copper bottom pots. Clear coat the brass because it acts on moisture in the air to oxidize it. Another route is oil but it has to be done frequently if the item is being used. Store out of sunlight. If a collector buys that piece, they will have their own ideas on what to do. Store it in a sealed bag too.
Love the result. I might try the hairspray solution or automotive spray clear-coat. I have a similar unit, marked "C G Lawson's" I was informed that it was used for dry / powder applications on plantings and in gardens. The internal plunger is a leather disk, and has the same three different application tips mounted as yours. Thank you. Now I have no excuse for it's continued well used condition.
The epoxy in the wood crack makes me cringe. Don't do that... Wood glue mixed with saw dust from the same wood works wonders and done right make it look like there was never a crack... :-) great work btw lol
Epoxy is easier and usually better then sawdust and wood glue wood glue is not made to fill cracks where as epoxy can I would agree to mix sawdust in but not to wood glue
@@AstoundingAmelia Epoxy is stronger, but if it's not a crack that has to carry weight, just using wood glue with some wood shavings works perfectly as filler.
I like that you repair the wooden handle and sanding using the drill. There are people who makes new handle if it's missing ok but to keep high value what you done was excellent
How to protect the copper? Clear spray on varnish will keep it shiniest for longest. Kind of glad to see you using gloves there. Some of the older pesticides contained nasty things that will persist for a long time....Sodium Arsenate was not uncommonly used.
Tout d'abord merci pour cette super chaîne. Pour les laitons cuivres et autres, je vous recommande la pierre blanche qui sera plus efficace que le vinaigre. Il faut ensuite la rincer à l'eau froide. Je l'utilise beaucoup avec succès. Continuez en tous cas, ça donne envie de bricoler!
Coat copper with virgin olive oil. Dampen a microfiber cloth with the olive oil. Apply the oil to the surface of your copper in a thin layer. The oil will form a protective barrier from the air, preventing oxidation.[12] Protect copper with lemon juice and salt. Fill a small container with 2 parts lemon juice and 1 part salt. Stir this mixture lightly with a spoon until the salt dissolves. Dip a rag into this mixture and apply it to the oxidized copper. This technique is especially useful for improving the shine of the copper. If the lemon juice and salt mixture doesn't seem to work, substitute white vinegar in place of lemon juice and apply the solution in the same fashion described.[13] Coat plain copper in a suitable lacquer. Keep in mind that lacquer may crack over time and lead to uneven oxidation or tarnishing in your copper. Suitable copper lacquers can be purchased at your local hardware store. Some lacquers may only be intended for certain surfaces. Apply copper lacquers according to their directions for the best results. Only apply lacquer to copper that’s been well cleaned and polished. Once the lacquer is applied, any remaining oxidation or dirtiness will be preserved under the lacquer. Many copper lacquers have spray applicators. Spray an even layer of lacquer onto all copper surfaces. Be careful when drying lacquer; paper or fuzz may stick to the lacquer.[14]
I've used a product called "Neverdull" to polish brass, aluminum and steel. It holds it's shine for a very long time. While it won't permanently preserve the luster of the brass, it will keep it shiny for a very long time. Maybe worth a try. It's expensive, but a little goes a long way.
Firstly this pump is not for watering plants, but for processing from harmful insects. to protect from oxidation of workings the tool does not turn out, but if it will stand as an exhibit, you can ponryt a hair spray. good work!
I just watched your video where you restored the oil can and I know my grandmother has or had similar cans so maybe I'll someday inherit those from her and watch this video when I eventually acquire one in order to restore it, same as you did. So thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Keep making videos like this. I will absolutely keep watching them.
If you mix the sawdust from the handle with the glue. it will fill the crack in the handle with the same colour. Also, if you put some grease inside the tube, it will make the pumping action a lot easier. Good restoration, i liked it.
As Nitro said Shellac, or a Laquer very thin coat, spray it on. On smaller objects, I have used clear nail polish on copper screws, even clear nail polish on silver works wonders for years and years. For the clear nail polish which is an enamel, use an air brush, for smaller objects that tarnish it does work great. AS well, correct me if iam wrong this is Brass not Copper... copper is a reddish hue to it brass is more of the golden color, since it IS copperwith Tin it it. Does it still oxidize yes, but browns first then greens. Either way, Shellac, Laquer, and Enamel thinly sprayed over thoroughly dried (even warmed brass/copper/silver works better) metal works the best. Great Videos btw...I do love the restos.
I seem to recall seeing a really old fire extinguisher with a similar design. It was mostly for small fires around the home. It had a straight pipe that screwed on the end though. It used a bucket to fill it too. This might have had an attachment like that at one time that got lost.
I wish I had a man who did restorations like u I would luv 2 help him out I think it would b so satisfying 2 c the end result of ur hard work.i luv watching u working + seeing the final result good job m8 xxxx
you can try a baked clear enamel paint like what they use for copper motor winding wire, could probably just use regular clear enamel paint as well. would likely be my best suggestion for maintaining the bright copper finish and protecting it from "rusting" or getting that patina finish!
Hi, this is actually a spray to wet the windows for cleaning. Hence the different nozzles that come with it. These were used by the cleaning ladies who mainly worked for wealthy people. Hats of for the result.
Hi, as others commented, vinegar and bicarbonate of soda are not to be mixed when you need to chemically remove stains. They neutralize each other. The better combination of products would simply be vinegar and table salt. Now if you want to remove stains by friction, then use bicarbonate of soda and cold water to form a loose paste. To keep the shine use metal, brass or copper lacquer. Everbrite is a good product. To remove it simply use any kind of volatile paint thinner. (use a breathing mask) Nice job
Insecticides sprayer! Very nice! Any acrylic clear coat will work to keep it shiny as this will likely not be in use any more. If it's to be used let it patina naturally and enjoy it. The pump gasket wont last long. The hemp used will but the paste is a pipe sealant used to seal pipe threads (I'm a plumber btw). It will dry out and wont allow for easy pumping. Grease or valosoline would last and work much better. Great job, loving the vids
You do great work. I would make one change though. You should try a multi step way of polishing. Start with a black Emery compound then move to a red rouge then green rouge then white rouge. And you want to use a separate wheel for each color. This will give a better shine and save a little time.
Hey Tysy, nice work my friend! I see you have learned your lesson and now you polish brass (this is not copper). Of course it takes more time polishing in comparisson to grinding down the oxidation but isn´t the result AMAZING?! One last advice, try to keep components to an original state. I doubt this had rubber seals in the years it was made. I would have used the same 'canepa' seals also instead of the rubber seals. Keep it up and grow a profitable business out of it. Hard work will get you big bux one day. FYI, I restore vintage mopeds and love your work. I somehow do not get to youtube my work due to time restrains but now that I see your work I think twice to uploading my work too.

Half are about oxidization and how to prevent that
The other half are about how nice his arms look.

when i seen him adding the vinegar i was like omg he just made fizzy water
Agreed. Bicarbonate and vinegar makes salt water which does nothing. The vinegar by itself will actually work.
Yup, I was just about to write about that. First to use the acid for cleaning. Some says Bicarbonate cleaning the silver and other shiny metals, but I think it's more due to abrasive properties, than chemistry...
Totally was going to say the same thing. You'd remove the corrosion much more easily with something like 0000 steel wool would also take off the corrosion, and is probably actually less abrasive than scotchbrite. You could also try a chelating agent like evaporust or MC51. Their websites both say that you can use them on brass, and they won't work on brass... which is super confusing, but since they definitely won't damage brass, it might be worth a try.
I'm always impressed by how well those turn out.
Agree with Ian Allen, it's a spray often used to spray a soap solution for tackling greenfly on roses ... when I was a boy in the 60s these were still very common as they were also used during WWII by the homeguard fire services so there was one on every street corner ... between the two uses just about everyone who tended a garden had one.

What about restoring brass ones?
This syringe would have been used as a bug spray. Insecticide and water will have been mixed in a bucket and then drawn up in the syringe then sprayed on plants. Nice resto and you have done it well. :)
You have right, thank you
It can also be used as a grease gun and a watering spray for plants using the different heads.
Ian Allen - Marlon Brando uses one as he plays with a young child, then sadly dies in the film The Godfather.
It`s for baking, u put flower inside...
I actually love the idea of having a tool like this instead of a single use plastic one. Saves the planet.

When he said “do you like my oilers?”, I nearly lost it 😀😀😀
So beautiful to see this garden sprayer/atmosier (?) restored to the original brass
Adding bicarb just makes the vinegar less active, Use bicarb to wash the piece after soaking in vinegar.
I find a good way to do stuff like that is with a drill and a damp cloth with bicarb on it, like a very mild abrasive
There is no way of permanently preserving the shine of brass. I've seen many methods tried to preserve the shine of brass, lacquers, varnishes, etc, but in the end (As the above methods eventually decay and become dull and extremely difficult to remove and clean the metal again..) the only way to preserve a shine is the hard way and to use brasso or some other metal polish of your choice when it looks like it needs it, get the duster out and polish it.

Thank god for garden hoses.great job!!!
That oiler! So happy it's working again.
No comments about the Biceps
sexy sexy frenchman
Yo dude....this dude has small children for biceps
I actually came here to comment about the Forearms and Biceps!
I'm here as much for the arms as I am the restorations.
. Was about to hahaha
That's actually a pretty cool tool that I never knew existed.
I like that pressure sprayer😀 he does a great job.
At first I thought it was what I remembered as a vintage garden duster which has always had a feeling of danger and poison about them, glad to see I was wrong. It's gorgeous!

Very interesting restoration like brand new came from factory
This reminds me of when my parents used to have a giant cylinder plant sprayer that came with a hose and nozzle.
Try catsup for brass cleaning. You have to spread it evenly but it works for my copper bottom pots. Clear coat the brass because it acts on moisture in the air to oxidize it.

I love the shiny stuff...🤫🤭😍😍😍😍 Another amazing Restoration.
Всё информативно и понятно👍 рад что я нашёл вас на просторах RUclips.

That is a sweet trick I have never heard of. Mixing sawdust with wood glue as a filler. Now to find some cracked wood...
I like that you repair the wooden handle and sanding using the drill. There are people who makes new handle if it's missing ok but to keep high value what you done was excellent
Am I crazy or was that one sexy looking bicep?
I came here to read the thirst comments.
He's showing the big guns
Beautiful Restoration.
How to protect the copper? Clear spray on varnish will keep it shiniest for longest.
Kind of glad to see you using gloves there. Some of the older pesticides contained nasty things that will persist for a long time....Sodium Arsenate was not uncommonly used.
came out really nice.thanks for sharing..
Tout d'abord merci pour cette super chaîne.
Pour les laitons cuivres et autres, je vous recommande la pierre blanche qui sera plus efficace que le vinaigre. Il faut ensuite la rincer à l'eau froide. Je l'utilise beaucoup avec succès.
Continuez en tous cas, ça donne envie de bricoler!
In the Navy, we called it brightwork. If I remember correctly. We had to keep the brighwork bright.
Coat copper with virgin olive oil. Dampen a microfiber cloth with the olive oil. Apply the oil to the surface of your copper in a thin layer. The oil will form a protective barrier from the air, preventing oxidation.[12]
Protect copper with lemon juice and salt. Fill a small container with 2 parts lemon juice and 1 part salt. Stir this mixture lightly with a spoon until the salt dissolves. Dip a rag into this mixture and apply it to the oxidized copper. This technique is especially useful for improving the shine of the copper.
If the lemon juice and salt mixture doesn't seem to work, substitute white vinegar in place of lemon juice and apply the solution in the same fashion described.[13]
Coat plain copper in a suitable lacquer. Keep in mind that lacquer may crack over time and lead to uneven oxidation or tarnishing in your copper. Suitable copper lacquers can be purchased at your local hardware store. Some lacquers may only be intended for certain surfaces. Apply copper lacquers according to their directions for the best results.
Only apply lacquer to copper that’s been well cleaned and polished. Once the lacquer is applied, any remaining oxidation or dirtiness will be preserved under the lacquer.
Many copper lacquers have spray applicators. Spray an even layer of lacquer onto all copper surfaces. Be careful when drying lacquer; paper or fuzz may stick to the lacquer.[14]
Best crossover episode ever
You can put a clear lacquer on the brass to keep the oxygen from getting to the brass/copper. It's done with brass musical instruments.
First time ive seen an oiler like this man! Simply wow!
Only wax to protect.
I've used a product called "Neverdull" to polish brass, aluminum and steel. It holds it's shine for a very long time. While it won't permanently preserve the luster of the brass, it will keep it shiny for a very long time. Maybe worth a try. It's expensive, but a little goes a long way.
I like that far better than a water can!
You should look at getting a lathe, it would help when you have to sand and polish your knobs and handles.
I always like it when he explains why he uses different products.
Firstly this pump is not for watering plants, but for processing from harmful insects.
to protect from oxidation of workings the tool does not turn out, but if it will stand as an exhibit, you can ponryt a hair spray. good work!
They used lovely things like arsenic in those too apply pesticides. It's a beautiful old tool.
J'adore voir les vieux objets reprendre vie grace à vous!
That’s the prettiest garden tool I have ever seen!🌷🌷🌷
Hi are you from France? You shoot the content in detail, as I don't turn it on, it's so calm in my soul, and I immediately put it to sleep. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now on to the garden...
wow, you did an awesome job, it almost looks new.
I just watched your video where you restored the oil can and I know my grandmother has or had similar cans so maybe I'll someday inherit those from her and watch this video when I eventually acquire one in order to restore it, same as you did. So thanks for taking the time to make these videos. Keep making videos like this. I will absolutely keep watching them.
It is so wonderful!!!! I love it!
Votre travail est magnifique
Thumbs up and enjoyed the video
If you mix the sawdust from the handle with the glue. it will fill the crack in the handle with the same colour. Also, if you put some grease inside the tube, it will make the pumping action a lot easier. Good restoration, i liked it.
Just found your channel today it’s awesome work you do. Thank you for keeping historical things going
As Nitro said Shellac, or a Laquer very thin coat, spray it on. On smaller objects, I have used clear nail polish on copper screws, even clear nail polish on silver works wonders for years and years. For the clear nail polish which is an enamel, use an air brush, for smaller objects that tarnish it does work great.
AS well, correct me if iam wrong this is Brass not Copper... copper is a reddish hue to it brass is more of the golden color, since it IS copperwith Tin it it. Does it still oxidize yes, but browns first then greens. Either way, Shellac, Laquer, and Enamel thinly sprayed over thoroughly dried (even warmed brass/copper/silver works better) metal works the best.
Great Videos btw...I do love the restos.
IT'S RESTORATIONS LIKE THIS THAT MAKES ME WANT TO DO IT MYSELF.
VERY SIMPLE BUT VERY ELEGANT, FANTASTIC JOB COBBA. KEEP THEM COMING 👍👍👍
I seem to recall seeing a really old fire extinguisher with a similar design. It was mostly for small fires around the home. It had a straight pipe that screwed on the end though. It used a bucket to fill it too. This might have had an attachment like that at one time that got lost.
Elles sont au top tes vidéos, c'est très satisfaisant à regardé. 👍
My guy watered so many plants he got the gold skin
I wish I had a man who did restorations like u I would luv 2 help him out I think it would b so satisfying 2 c the end result of ur hard work.i luv watching u working + seeing the final result good job m8 xxxx
Quite the happy little sprayer you have there.
One of my favorites!!!
you can try a baked clear enamel paint like what they use for copper motor winding wire, could probably just use regular clear enamel paint as well. would likely be my best suggestion for maintaining the bright copper finish and protecting it from "rusting" or getting that patina finish!
Has anyone from original manufacturers contacted you and said we never intended the product to look this good? Just a fantastic restoration!!!
Encore une belle restauration...
😮 merci 😊
You do amazing things with old rusty stuff
Godlike restoration
Well done sir. Just the perfect level of restoration. Charming sprayer looking good.
Really good. Specially the test
You always make a great job but that polish looks amayzing
Hi, this is actually a spray to wet the windows for cleaning.
Hence the different nozzles that come with it.
These were used by the cleaning ladies who mainly worked for wealthy people.
Hats of for the result.
I need more of your videos. I realized I have an addiction.
Hi, as others commented, vinegar and bicarbonate of soda are not to be mixed when you need to chemically remove stains. They neutralize each other. The better combination of products would simply be vinegar and table salt. Now if you want to remove stains by friction, then use bicarbonate of soda and cold water to form a loose paste.
To keep the shine use metal, brass or copper lacquer. Everbrite is a good product. To remove it simply use any kind of volatile paint thinner. (use a breathing mask)
Nice job
thank you so much for your advice 😊
Insecticides sprayer! Very nice! Any acrylic clear coat will work to keep it shiny as this will likely not be in use any more. If it's to be used let it patina naturally and enjoy it. The pump gasket wont last long. The hemp used will but the paste is a pipe sealant used to seal pipe threads (I'm a plumber btw). It will dry out and wont allow for easy pumping. Grease or valosoline would last and work much better. Great job, loving the vids
thank you so much 😊
¡Excelente trabajo, muy buen tratado del bronce! Saludos desde Honduras.
🎵Shine bright like diamond🎵
Your work is amazing my friend! Thank you for this great video.
That is impressive because trying to clean brass is not easy tryed it yesterday came out ok not as good as yours good job always good restorations
Good job TISY...i loved
You do great work. I would make one change though. You should try a multi step way of polishing. Start with a black Emery compound then move to a red rouge then green rouge then white rouge. And you want to use a separate wheel for each color. This will give a better shine and save a little time.
Beautiful restoration and a very beautiful garden. You are a master of restoration.
Another great renovation! Thanks for the video!
Thank you Veradona
Hey Tysy, nice work my friend! I see you have learned your lesson and now you polish brass (this is not copper). Of course it takes more time polishing in comparisson to grinding down the oxidation but isn´t the result AMAZING?! One last advice, try to keep components to an original state. I doubt this had rubber seals in the years it was made. I would have used the same 'canepa' seals also instead of the rubber seals. Keep it up and grow a profitable business out of it. Hard work will get you big bux one day. FYI, I restore vintage mopeds and love your work. I somehow do not get to youtube my work due to time restrains but now that I see your work I think twice to uploading my work too.
I loved the video!
It’s so beautiful, awesome job 😊
