This should be called 'Happy Couple Does Scrap' . good luck guys.

[@richardvarley1974]

Don't forget to neutralize what vinegar is remnant on the copper. A rise with tap water can help, but the best thing would be a little baking soda in water in another bucket. This is to stop the acidic reaction of the vinegar on the copper to keep it from eventually being eaten up by the solution. Now on the vinegar solution side, you SHOULD be able to put a coffee filter, or even just old cotton rag, in a funnel and pour it into a container to reuse (non-edible naturally). It won't be as effective as quickly next time, but it would allow you to reuse it once or twice to save more money. You could even take the "once used" vinegar solution and pour it into a bowl with some extra salt to use with a rag for hand polishing something copper, or anything with corrosion really. Again you would still want to be certain you neutralize it afterwards. Great to see ya'll back, we are still prayin' for you on this end! God Bless!

[@vegaspress]

What do you mean baking soda in another bucket so do I just put vinegar salt and baking soda into one bucket solution? I'm new to cleaning copper just wanna make sure I don't mess it all up

[@richardvarley1974]

@@vegaspress vinegar is an acid. Once the copper is clean if you don't neutralize the acid (vinegar) it can continue to eat away at the copper slowly over time. So, you add baking soda (a base) to water in a secondary bucket and rinse it last in that bucket to neutralize the vinegar (an acid) so you don't wind up losing your nice clean copper over time.

[@offhandacoustic]

@@richardvarley1974 Shits going to the scrap yard! Who cares if it gets eaten away. If you are cleaning stuff you want to keep then yeah, but why when you are selling it anyway?

[@richardvarley1974]

@@offhandacoustic because the longer it is eaten away the less copper you have to sell. You can quite literally lose the entire pile of copper before getting it to the yard to sell if you don't stop the acidic reaction. Not to mention at a certain point the reaction goes from "just" etching and eating away the copper to creating verdigris (green often slimy coating that will crystalize over time) that is both toxic, AND will cause a yard to massively downgrade the load of copper because it is a sure sign that it is being eaten away by acidic reaction, and the yard doesn't want to purchase a product at full value that they have to then try to treat to rescue it before it disintegrates. If the point is to clean the copper to get bare bright price, why would you be so lazy as to let it turn green and lose that bare bright price? Why clean it at all if you are going to stop halfway through and lose money anyway?

[@ShaneManTV]

Great to see you back!! The community missed you!! 💙💚❤️

[@MrGWN7]

I have a cement mixer. When I do this I put the wire and vinegar/salt mix in a pail and put it in the cement mixer with a lid on the pail. The agitation cleans it up real nice. :)

[@jodiyoung5578]

This reminds me of the show "Bill Nye the Science Guy". Chemistry 101. Great job family.

[@ayseashrafi7535]

guys keep vinegar and baking soda mix in bucket use again again dont spend extra money,and i'm very happy your face smile take care eacother u have little boy be strong ...i'm from ottawa and 66 years old women i love u

[@E-BikingAdventures]

Salt. Not baking soda. BTW Im from ottawa too.

[@danohstoolbox]

Baking soda neutralize vinegar

[@marilynward7681]

That is so cool cleaning copper.....glad you are both feeling better

[@amandavanheerden7592]

Great to have ypu back. Nice job on the copper.👍👍

[@treasureseeker2738]

Great seeing you guys back posting videos again. Missed your lovely smile. Hope you both have a blessed Sunday.

[@annahill187]

wow that very cool . i have lot copper wire look that . thank you this going to help out a lot

[@patricksmith9299]

Another thought? Save the solution for your next batch of burnt copper? And maybe mix the solution before adding in the copper. Make for a more equal dispersing of the chemicals?

[@poemsforgod2548]

God Bless you guys in all your trials. Looking good and sounding positive! God never abandons us

[@cyndig9915]

Glad that y’all are back missed watching y’all .So glad both of you are feeling better

[@RameshPal-cd4cs]

Lovely idea. Can I clean brass tap used for water line by this way?

[@pennygevedon336]

Think about saving the solution in that bucket covering with a lid to reuse.....just a thought. Good to see you guys back.

[@mauriliozamora6627]

What a great idea, i have some burnt copper and i will being trying this trick. I'ts really nice to see you both again doing what you love.

[@philbarr5209]

Way to go Gang good job

[@bradgray123]

I've been doing my copper with just vinegar. I'll try the salt as well. I use my mix over and over so it works out quite cheap.

[@patricksmith9299]

Save enough salt for your shaker! Lol Good to see you back, both in good health! Continued prayers!

[@petertopham8807]

good to have you back, re-use that solution till it stops working.

[@steelisthemeal]

Never really even thought about this actually working Good stuff

[@marcuslarge7626]

Good cleaning trick I'll have to try this myself thanks, glad to see you are both well 👍 👍

[@meanmamameanest6314]

Oh nice 😃 thanks for the information, love ya

[@TheEcoGuys]

I play tge "yea" drinking game when I watch their videos.

[@williamgallaher1377]

Great tip thank you very much for sharing. Be safe out there.

[@waltwood4113]

Wow that works me and my dad will have to try and always happy scraping

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Fyi for the copper pipe t ketchup cleans very well. The acid in the ketchup reacts to the copper and makes it polished looking. Nice info you all shared. Thank you.

[@thomashylemon9975]

They have tried ketchup in the past

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Ok. I have used it also and worked for me. Thank you.

[@nwa.ridge.scrapper4195]

awesome video and thanks for the information. keep it up and great to see yal back at it!

[@gwyenotter6414]

I am enjoying learning right along with y’all.

[@mariafarrugia8988]

Great Job so nice to see yous again God Bless Maria from Malta.

[@jessperham1176]

Glad to see you back I missed your video

[@tinamarie1959able]

We;come back, so glad to see you guys again, have missed you.

[@gaiaocracy]

This solution can be saved and reused. Also, it might be more efficient to mix the salt and vinegar together before adding the copper. Good luck to you!

[@Freeisbetter86]

That's a great idea!

[@jamesyoder4327]

great job. was wondering how to clean it . I have bout 8 spools I've been holding onto for bout 10 yrs. bout time to start a 🔥 🔥 fire. lol

[@gravitybear]

Great info! Thanks. I'm a casual scrapper but any way to increase the payout is welcome.

[@solindaferrer1912]

It's effective solution for cleaning copper . Thanks for the info guy!

[@jackpotdigger834]

im impress of the end result!!!!!wow

[@jeffmame605]

That is some great info - you came back strong!!

[@johnharshberger6456]

great tip thanks hugs and prayers welcome home once again....

[@rubyred8845]

Great tip.

[@susanthomas8645]

You two just "keep on keeping on." Great.

[@patriciastockellburg7231]

Great to see you !!! I have to try it

[@daveedwards9238]

Just feel better! Thanks

[@criticalthinker7822]

Thanks for sharing!

[@aminormaximum2446]

Heat up the copper, using a fire with a gate or a grill. Mix vinegar and baking soda, say a 1/2 cup to a quart. Fill a coffee can with the mix. Take the hot copper with metal tongs, and submerge in the solution for three servings. Remove and rinse. That is "bright and shiny".

[@pederlindstrom3132]

Hello there. I use 24% vinegar and salt for gold fingers, takes a while but it works.

[@jimcatanzaro7808]

Now I can more at the scrap yard

[@suetilston8733]

Right on!!

[@housedragon2187]

I wounder if you could pour it over a strainer to catch the vinger to reuse. But that's a great trick. Thanks and God bless you

[@E-BikingAdventures]

It would be easier to just take the copper out of the bucket.

[@bigcountryscrapper6885]

Great video

[@brianj123458]

I'm new sub I found your channel through (scrap & pallet) will be watching great video and God bless you

[@ettahyde5605]

Thanks for the tip. Think it would work on silver?

[@Freeisbetter86]

hmm not sure about silver will have to look in to it :)

[@metalmogul4691]

Love her smile, made my day.

[@bonniejeanbeach7711]

I have white dull oxidation on my copper kitchen decorations how do I get it off?

[@jonathansweet1112]

Good idea with the salt and vinegar, we put it on chips (french fries) over here I will give that a try. Great video, keep it up.

[@dumpsterjerry3577]

👍

[@huckstirred7112]

I might have just figured out how to wreck house trailers . I am gonna try a demolition , fire departments use them . Very pricy ., not sure how long they last ,": I never used one ". So it will be an experiment ". Put it on my Sthil 175 , " very small chainsaw " . To get the huge amount of waste manageable , I built a grinder from two high pressure oxygen tanks . The grinder works great . haven't gotten the demolition chain yet .

[@bethturonie5511]

It works....

[@lucifchristo]

My question is after you clean them with the salt and vinegar How do you keep them from corroding ? Every time I do this The wires come out beautiful and shiny but within an hour they're turning green Any input from anybody would be greatly appreciated

[@Heisenbrick]

I am thinking the same thing, I’m trying to get a very large collection of copper to cash in at one time. Unfortunately my current collection is all tarnished, I believe that leaving it outside was also a bad idea. I plan to do an experiment keeping the rest indoors under air-conditioning.

[@charlesespinosa8986]

Missed you guys,,, great to see you back

[@scottcarr2871]

One gallon of vinegar, 2 cups of Epsom salts and two ounces of fish soap. Makes a home made Rounndup kills weeds and grass

[@huckstirred7112]

I never gave a fish a bath , but my 4 year old kept wanting to hold and pet the fish and it died

[@jeramiepalomino4210]

Awesome video yall

[@ingridlenz3978]

Oh my gosh,our vinegar jugs cost over $3.80 a jug here in Western Canada… $2.50 for cheapest salt box.

[@lesforets]

Is it possible to use vinegar and salt more than once?

[@MikeDoesStuff101]

I’m going to try 50/50 water and vinegar for my green corroded copper, I heard the solution is reusable too.

[@VideoNash]

thanks

[@GilSkillz]

So good to see you doing what you love again! You've been missed! :)

[@martinemjt]

cool!

[@luislugo2365]

You guys rock thanks for your videos

[@townrecycle9966]

nice job! /cheers

[@adamogilvie6951]

Could you do this when cleaning a copper condenser coil for a still? I keep hearing all this stuff about citric acid and all this. So confused. Lol!

[@theghostofsw6276]

George, on the "Barley and Hops Brewing" channel, has some good cleaning videos for copper stills. He recommends the "5-5-1" mixture....500ml water, 50ml hydrogen peroxide, and 1 ounce citric acid. Same peroxide you get from the pharmacy, and citric acid powder you use for canning. Rinse well with some regular dish soap and water afterwards. Obviously you should still do a small water run before running alcohol. Channel- "Barley and Hops Brewing" Video- "Cleaning Your Still, Copper, or Stainless"

[@ShaneManTV]

First!!!!! Yeah!!!

[@coinsgallery]

Hello. Can you please tell me what is the reason to clean copper?

[@tracybonilla255]

Tiene una expresion muy linda. Ojala nunca pierda esa carita y mirada de amor. Dios les bendiga. Ojala que yo pudiera tener esa expresión de calma, paz y simpatía.

[@grizzlybeardave611]

Welcome back missed you guy's

[@steelisthemeal]

Interesting

[@patrickvavages2786]

Like!👍✌

[@demetriosantos2342]

SUPER VIDEO. CONGRATSSSSSSSSSSS.

[@Cb7dohcf22b]

Awsomeee wife lady kudos !!! She’s golden awesome video I need to do this for my car battery cables they are coppper and are dirty

[@thomashylemon9975]

Missed u all's so glad to see u ❤

[@dennishinkle6084]

You can reuse the vinegar over again. Bare bright sells for about 2.60 per pound here in Texas give or take. Push your dream.

[@tammypopiel7378]

Vinegar is my go to for many things.....lots of uses for vinegar 😀

[@thesuccessclub6130]

What kind of vinegar is that?

[@jonathanbuckley3254]

I wonder if apple cider vinegar would work. That way you could make youselves a nice cider to drink/sell/gie away and turn some into vinegar........somehow

[@conorharford5117]

you could save the old vinegar and salt mix and use it again

[@judyjudyjudy9593]

Do you get as much a pound for small pieces of copper as you do for long pieces??? thanks for this video....Judie

[@Freeisbetter86]

Yes I do!

[@loriahumada9362]

Can you cover the bucket and reuse it. Just add more to it every time?

[@PyroThunder]

Will this remove heavy oxidation?

[@amatueranatoly6408]

I tried soaking mine in salt and vinegar but my copper just turned green. If you washed that off though it was still stained underneath.

[@gypsyrose429]

How do you get the plastic coating off?

[@Freeisbetter86]

we use a wire stripper :)

[@chosen1one930]

Just let people know that this also dissolves copper so don't forget about it. We use this for cheap refining of precious metals from ewaste. HCL and hydrogen peroxide does the same thing as well or add baking soda to the solution you use so it won't dissolve to much if forgotten about

[@luigiprovencher]

Will this remove paint or just varnish?

[@haggardfan7949]

Put it in a concrete mixer for 5 min. Would not need but half the amount of vinegar. The copper cleans itself by tumbling

[@lynfreeman2383]

Try keeping your mixture and see if it still works after a while. You may not need new vinegar each time

[@dannosdive8552]

THIRDZEEZE!

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Hello Cassie and Shawn, I have tried this on copper coins and it seems to do okay. But like you said you just don't know how much salt to add. Thanks for sharing.

[@adventuresunknown1013]

Well now I've watched this three times and I still love it 😍.

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Fyi ketchup is great for cleaning copper. Use it on the bottoms of copper pans. The acid in the tomatoes cleans it.

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Are you still saving your coins? For your new home?

[@Freeisbetter86]

yup and doing more sales now :) We Had to get New vehicle as Truck was on last legs but still pushing 💖

[@RCRAMPAGE]

Where do you get this I need 4mm copper wire

[@violetchloe399]

Good seeing you again. Hope you are both doing well.
