I used silver Rub 'n Buff when I built model car kits back in the '60s. I might have had a few other colors too, such as red, but I don't recall. I haven't used it in years, but I knew it was still available.

[@albertreed966]

My wife and I used this on ceramics back in the 80’s. We really like it.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Awesome!

[@davemartin5605]

Question, from a beginner, can you get a lighter and shinier effect for swords and such? Great work, love your videos.

[@donvandenberg5301]

I've heard of rub 'n buff before but didnt realize it was so versatile.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Oh yeah it’s awesome!

[@MultiTom1956]

Awesome!!! 😊👌

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sugarpuff2978]

I brought some Rub n Buff recently to use on etched glass. It's really good stuff!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Right on!

[@edwardparnell6134]

Hi Matt, Great video. Enjoy watching and learning new stuff. Thanks

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it, Edward! Good to hear from you sir!

[@judys5767]

Thanks for the tutorial. I will use your technique when make sconces.

[@mrburns366]

I've rubbin and buffin for years.. i should be good at this

[@MindzEyz]

Is it safe to handle after it dries? I'd like to do it to a wooden handle that will be use a ton with bare hands. Will it need some kind of finish to protect it and keep it from getting on me and clothing, etc.?

[@spikewillow4552]

Awesome results! will have to see if its available in the UK fingers X'd.... thanks for sharing dude

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you enjoyed my friend!

[@yolo-mx3tz]

so cool!!!❤️

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DavidJones-davejay]

Thanks for this. It’s just what I was looking for.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad I could help!

[@sunshinetester4797]

I have a laser etched wooden plaque to display a sword on the wall. It's stained black, but I feel like the etching part needs to be highlighted to give it a more upscale feel. Would the rub and buff work for that?

[@NancyPrior]

Hello, if I want just a straight-up black wrought iron finish, do I need the silver, or can I just stick with the ebony? Thank you

[@peternicho]

Superb for this rookie to follow.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Awesome!

[@loaferwolf3230]

can you put a clear coat on after its done

[@CorneliusCreations]

Yes, If you are going to be using it

[@sussextoni]

Love this technique exactly what I am looking for. Can I ask if is it the wax or cream rub n buff? Thank you for your time and the video x

[@rustythorpe7512]

Cool stuff, Matt! Thanks for sharing!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you for watching bro! I appreciate your support!

[@edwardables3406]

excellent idea

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you! 😊

[@ThatOneOddGuy]

Is this durable Like after its dry and doesnt smudge Could I dent it with my nail

[@CorneliusCreations]

It is pretty durable, although, If you will be touching it you will need to put a thin coat of sealer on it.

[@aprilmahar92]

I have some picture frames that need a color change. I think this will work great!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Go for it!

[@markanthony559]

Another interesting product Matt. At this rate I'm gonna have a shed full of stuff you've recommended lol

[@CorneliusCreations]

Haha! Thank you man!

[@ivypool2.065]

Hi! I would like to paint silver color metal to brass. What colors should I use?

[@BrotherBrown]

My brother has a 3D printer and loves to paint them. I'll have to show him your videos Matt.

[@CorneliusCreations]

Right on man! I appreciate you checking it out!

[@gavincoyle]

Awesome job really amazing what effect you can get from a little imagination 👍👍👍

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you!

[@josea.ramirezv.1781]

Awesome video, Matt! 👊 I did learn a lot! Something else to add on my bag of tricks. Lol!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@theaspieman6126]

I may have to invest in some of that stuff for some of my creations too, Great tip!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariotibbrine1]

Can you seal it? If so with what?

[@kneufeld12]

That is the same question that I have. If I want to create a metal effect on parts of a walking stick, can I use a water seal of some sort to make it weather proof?

[@CorneliusCreations]

Yes, If you are going to use it then it needs to be sealed. The wax in this makes it durable, but it needs sealant to protect it over time. I would recommend acrylic clear coat

[@erichhunterph.d.198]

Thanks. How durable is it? Will it come off with handling?

[@CorneliusCreations]

Glad you enjoyed it, Erich! It is pretty durable.. I could see it being rubbed off over long periods of use. I would suggest using a clear coat over it if handled much.

[@karicoleman3548]

Does it always have to be a black base? I have rub n buff in Grecian Gold on hand.

[@CorneliusCreations]

A lot of people generally keep it black at the base.

[@jeetray11]

Magical! Does it work on thin wood dowels? say 1/2" square wood dowel. I want to make it look like a brass or copper rod. Do they have copper or brass color?

[@CorneliusCreations]

They sure do and it will work perfect!

[@donnell688]

will it work on a pinewood derby car( actually a violin model)?

[@CorneliusCreations]

It sure will!

[@forest_trader]

Can you put sealer like wipe on after the wax

[@CorneliusCreations]

Yes you can

[@sandersjones1577]

U done good man

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you brother

[@shockjock35]

Do they it in larger quantities? I want to make a 2 X 4 lumber look like metal to build a desk

[@CorneliusCreations]

I am not sure. But a little goes a long way!

[@okayred12]

I’m a set designer for a tv show. How do I make a wood radiator look like cast iron.

[@davidstanovic3371]

THIS IS AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[@CorneliusCreations]

👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ooooooogzi6452]

Very nice!!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Thank you, friend!

[@JustMeScottG]

That’s awesome....damn now I gotta spend more money on Amazon, I want one of those helmets too now!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Yeah they are pretty awesome!

[@ClevesBackyardWoodworking]

cool technique, do you put a top coat sealer on it after?

[@CorneliusCreations]

If you are going to be touching it often then yes, I would.

[@stedew001]

@@CorneliusCreations What do you use to seal it? I might be incorporating the technique into accent elements in furniture.

[@stedew001]

Found the answer below. (Acrylic clear coat)

[@calebsamuel2214]

Where did you get the Spartan helmets...??????????

[@CorneliusCreations]

My friend 3d printed it for me

[@guyh.4553]

WHAT GIVES MR. CORNELIUS??? You didn't carve any of these out yourself! Ha ha ha! Sheesh! That's a neat method. I like it!

[@CorneliusCreations]

Hahaha, I thought about it, but it takes so much time and I needed a new video 😁

[@guyh.4553]

@@CorneliusCreations ha ha ha! Just had to give you a hard time!

[@Maiky9303]

Excellent video but it would be good if the videos were subtitled to Spanish there are many that we see in Latin America

[@CorneliusCreations]

I will keep this in mind my friend.
