[13] Toilet cleaner? Polishing very old bronze fittings easily
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Bronze is a popular material for traditional boat fittings because it is relatively strong and very resistant to salt water. On the other hand very old bronze fittings show resilient stain, discoloration and tarnishing. In some cases hand polishing will not work - even with professional polishing pastes. My old Dragon sailboat has quite a number of bronze parts that have not been polished for decades. An experienced craftsman told me his secret. This is my first attempt carrying out his instructions.
It is hard to believe, but these Davey mushroom vents are still hand crafted using techniques that haven't changed in over 100 years. You can buy exactly the same devices today as a boat yard did some 80 years ago when my boat was built in Amsterdam. I did not but gave a nice finish to the old ones instead.
im a metal polisher, youve done a great job!
Special word of praise from an expert. Thank you very much!
Sie und Ihre Spezialisten;) Sehr gutes Video.
Danke!
You add subtitles about sodium carbonate and another. We’re those in the toilet cleaner, or did you add them along with the toilet cleaner? Thanks for clarifying.
Toilet cleaner as sold. No chemicals added.
How would you clean vertical port lights?
I have not tried this yet. The secret to polishing bronze or brass with agents like "Davey Shine" is to prepare the metal with the chemical reaction I have shown. Maybe you can use gloves and a swab for some minutes. Adjacent structures (wood etc.) must be masked and protected perfectly.
