The only one problem with Oxalic is that if you let it too long in, the color of the helmet change.. had it often. Now, i dont let it more than 30 mn. Great videos!
Good job and great final result! Only I wouldn't use hammer to get rust off the helmet, in that way you can damage helmet and get holes on in....it's too rough! I use some kind of steel brush, that cleans the largest rust pieces without affecting the original color. ;)
i agree. this is very common and very strange. and insulting. also happens very often with comments too, supposedly "unappropriate" for youtube, they bann thousands of viewers for no serious reason. like youtube is trying to enforce a particular policy or strategy. i think it is time for ELECTED goverments to take action and shut down youtube for good. there will be plenty of social platforms for us to use. it is dangerous to let a NON ELECTED company rule and dictate what people say or do. this is facism
@@wwiituberestoration1011 Are there any books on exactly how to restore helmets, for people who have never done it before? Where would someone start? Thank you.
@@cs2to4 you can start by using vinegar water which I know for a fact it will get rid of the rust for most part. Probably let it sit for about 3 to 4 days or more if it isn't ready yet, if it's ready, then proceed to wash it with water and dry it up because the rust will appear again so whatever is left on the stahlhelm use a wire brush to scrape the rest of the rust still left hanging, most of the rust should be gone. After cleaning it up, paint it with etching primer to prevent the rust from appearing. Then, after that paint it whatever colour you want original or leave as is, your choice 😉 this dude was no helpful since he only does his own stuff and not even give us hints or help any of us. If left too long in vinegar water, I'll start eating up the piece of steel. I tested out with rusty variant pieces found laying around so you often have to check if it's ready to clean. If there's small holes on the stahlhelm, use JB weld originals to fix the holes. But if you wanna save the pant and not lose its value, then use that oxalic acid to get rid of the rust without hurting the paint.
Hello I did not understand why your German helmet and your green and once out of the liquid turned gray? and can you tell me which product you used please
At first I thought that the helmet was painted green, but now I’m wondering what the green stuff covering the paint was, some reversible affect from the paint aging, some sort of mold, or something else. Edit: the thumbnail worried me.
When I was a kid,around 1965,I,found one of these I a barrel on trash day.Right on top tossed out.I think it was a air raid warden helmet.Flatter flare ,black,with a Nazi eagle decal.
Excellent preservation of the helmet + preservation of original paintwork Try deep soaking of the item in solution of benzotriazole (BTA) + alcohol (you must first check the reaction with the original paint), followed by the application of microcrystalline wax + solvent. Sorry for the inaccurate translation. I use Google Translate.
@@wwiituberestoration1011I agree that the vinegar can be dangerous, but only if the metal very thin or completely compromise. Personally, i prefer preserve the helmet and not the paint, but this is only a my opinion. I like your videos in any case . 😉
Для чего заниматься этим делом, если до конца не доделать. Кожаный тыльник, ремни, что терпения не хватает. Это железо перепловляли на заводе имени Куйбышева в Нижнем Тагиле очень много.
Gute aufwendige Arbeit ! Ich wäre aber anders damit umgegangen wie folgt.: 1. Einsprühen mit Rostlöser , mindestens für 24 Stunden einwirken lassen. 2. Danach mit Heißwasser Hochdruckreiniger behandeln. 3. Nach trocknen Sandstrahlen. 4. Mit Rostschutz und anschließend mit Füller lackieren. 5. Dann Nassschleifen mit 380er Schleifpapier nachschleifen mit 500hunderter. 6. Erst danach mit authentischer Farbe lackieren. 7. Wenn möglich bei 80 Grad für 1 Std. Trocknen und Auskühlen lassen. Das wäre meine Vorgehensweise als ehemaliger Lackierermeister gewesen. 🧐
That helmet is in really good condition wow
I have perfect condition helm M40
Hes helmet will be a fine Addition to me collection
Thats a good preservation!!!! When i saw the opening picture of an angle grinder i was like Nooooooio
:))
It's the right way to renovate old metal, thanks for a great video 👍💯
great job, you can't miss these relics
Loved it, thanks for preserving history.
Thank you for preserving history. Great job once again
Thank you kindly
Good job keep preserving history!
Amazing, wonderful result!
the old adage "rust never sleeps" and my guess is there is some still rust under the surface , especially under the fold of the rim .
Looks really good Nice restoration
Interesting how oxalic acid changed the color of the paint.
Buenísimo....y mejor aún la prueba...gracias
Thank you for calling it preservation
The only one problem with Oxalic is that if you let it too long in, the color of the helmet change.. had it often. Now, i dont let it more than 30 mn. Great videos!
Wow you really did polish that helmet.
Nice result!
Yeeeessss I was waiting for another video.
P.s great job!
And electrolysis is a great way to get rid of rust without damaging the shell.
Excellent job!
Nice job!!! That's what a restoration should be
awesome
Looks really good. Restored, but keeps its character unlike the m27 or ssh36.
Would you ever try evaporust to get rid of the rust on your items?
You my friend are a helmet whisper....outstanding
Great job, I thought this would be an apple green helmet from how it looked like then it went feldgrau!
wow. great techniques! bravo!
great video!
BRAVO!!!
How to mixed the wax. Can you give me a detail. And what purposed?
Thank you for not killing it, this is perfect preservation
Excellent preservation. I like your channel.
💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
You preserve this piece of steel more than I did with mines
Не мало времени потрачено для того что бы востановить практически в то состояние,в котором эта каска была на её владельце! За труды и за всё 🤔😀👍!)
Your the best RUclipsr I have ever see 👏🤟👌✅❣️
Masterpiece.

steel brushes also affect paint
Hello! Can you tell me what substances did you use, except from oxalic acid? Thank you!
well done! I'm proud of you
Parabéns meu amigo ficou top. Saudações do Brasil.

So im ordering an original m35 that’s rusty like yours, is there anyway I could send it to you and you restore it?
I'm sorry, but I cannot help you, because I restore only my own items.

What is the solution you're using to soak it in?
why didn't you use rust remover to remove the rusts?
0:22 - 0:24 what is that humming tune, only happened once in the video?
Very nice...
cool Result🤙🏻
Thank you
Do You have at least One Helmet from all the Division from the War ???
Wow Nice helmet
Awesome
I love your channel
Superbe travail Merci. Je . m'abonne de suite.
Very good
is it possible to use some kind of body filler to fill in all the degraded parts to get it smooth? and then a feldgrau paint job?
I think it is possible to do this, I will need to try it.

So glad you didn't take a wire wheel to it.
Preservation is cool restoration to look new is wrong.
niceee!!
Excelent!

Hi what solvent do you use for the microcrystalline wax please?
Xylene or other high flashpoint hydrocarbon solvent
Hey man! I have a romanian m34 in pretty good condition, original liner and all but it has a hole, how can i fix it?
Please dont.

How do I preserve an original helmet that has some rust on it?? Without have to clean it and do this whole process?
Renaissance wax should do the trick.
Was it painted green originaly or was that just the way that it looked
Nice one like it😍
would distilled water after 3 days remove the remnants of a decal ?
No. The decal will be fine.
@@wwiituberestoration1011 Great videos. thanks
I wish I could buy one of these helmets off of you and restore one

search on eBay, I bought several helmets there

I want to try benzotriazole for conservation helmet. Maybe in the next video.
@@wwiituberestoration1011 Just be careful with the paint please
WOW
Why no sand or media blasting?
このくらいの仕上がりもいいね。
This one escaped being turned into a colander.
Or a coal shovel.
Will it still fail to stop a round from a Garand, though?
Wasnt made for that tho
Got real anxious when you used the hammer
There is no way to do without a hammer
В таких случаях помогает щавелевая кислота.. Бережно удаляет чешуйки ржавчины и сохраняет краску.
3 days in the vinegar and the job is done!! 💪💪
3 days in the vinegar and can be thrown out.

Will the acid remove the decal on the helmet?
If you keep in acid for a long time, then the decal will be destroyed.

Excellent work Sir.
The toilet cleaner is for the yellow dirt that oxalic acid leave?
Would it pass the CIF inspection though? They make everyone turn back to clean their gear better haha, great video though!
Will something like this work on a American wwi Brodie helm?
Rust is rust man
@@jacobantonelliso the acid wont hurt it?
@@5yearsago5yearsago29 I'm no expert but as long as it isnt crumbling to bits it should be fine
meat bone nah it’s still together just kinda rusty
Use a sand blaster to clean it
Another great job. Is its color correct?
Nice i have German helmet M40 SE64
А мне понравилось , дружище !
Молодец !
Try using evaporust it works
If I sent you helmets would you restore them?
No, he only does his own items
