Great information ... I have learned and found that the copper scrubby will clean the residue off better than steel wool, which is good, but I do like the blacker finish using the copper scrubby to clean the zinc. Love learning from you Ed ...

[@watcherinlaa8736]

I've been using steel wool and have never thought of trying it with copper as you suggest. I will be giving that a try.

[@ARTyRV]

Thanks for sharing! We’ll give it a try.

[@JoeyArispe]

thanks for the information!! never even thought about how there would be oil on the zinc

[@ARTyRV]

Happy to help!

[@DrGIUPUI]

I’ve given up on black patina for the zinc around the edge. A small can Rustoleum in black gloss works wonders and holds constant “forever”.

[@ARTyRV]

That works too!

You guys are sooooo Cool and definitely always make my day...!!!!! I always use steel wool when cleaning Ed & Barb... & there are different Grades I've found and like the Extra Fine 000 or Super Fine 0000 when doing the work. Just for an experiment, I recently used a mixture of baking soda and water to make a paste and used that with my steel wool to clean my stainless steel sink and I couldn't believe the awesome shiny results... Every mark I had in the sink was GONE...! Great video Barb and Ed...! Really appreciate all you guys bring to the table...!!! 👍👍👍👍

[@ArkOfMystery]

i LIKE THE 0000 on solder and zinc but always hate the cleanup of it breaking up into flecks., the patina leaves rust spots everywhere.. so now I will only use medium grit lightly on my solder.

[@ARTyRV]

Hi Ray! Ed’s got your email and we’re catching up. The cactus window is awesome. Thanks for the insight on the steel wool.

[@ARTyRV]

Ed says thank you so much and he’ll give you a call. You’re the best! Have a great evening.
