Old brass Cup Restoration - Mirror Polish Finish

#Restoration #Mirror Polish
This is an old brass cup with serious rust. I tried repairing and polishing it, and the result made me very satisfied.

[@myboy051]

I just take it to the buffing wheel on my bench grinder. Use the solid stick compound and polish. Comes out like a mirror finish.

[@diagoras8440]

Looks like a tea or sake cup, it’s so small. The lip at the top makes me think it used to have a lid. Very cool restoration!

...or maybe it was a part fron a vacuum flask.

[@stephaniefraser177]

Thanks for sharing! You have a lot of patience.

[@Potato.....]

nice dude the cup look awesome

[@frankentronics]

The baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) just neutralizes the acid. The bubbles (regardless of their cinematic effect) do absolutely nothing to remove the oxide. Those bubbles are just CO2 that is produced when the baking soda neutralizes the acid.

Very nice job

@@eduardavilla7627 I buy from "wintech diamonds products", it's not I'm advertising them. For nearly 5 years I'm using their products & it's really good.

Bravo!

[@scotthoward4836]

Seems like a lot of time and effort I'm exhausted just watching it

[@kashi2843]

Great video - how long did you keep the work piece immersed in oxalic acid and baking soda mix ?

[@rsmolkin]

Never heard of diamond paste, seems useful

[@brizy208]

I do metal restoration you really don't have to do all these steps....I would use Acetone first to clean it to break down all that grease and extra build up, mix the oxalic Acid with liquid soap scrub it then polish it

[@davidstrickler6570]

Start with never dull then finish with mothers chrome polish. Soft metals are easy.

[@mystickal6342]

can you please share rhe link pf products you use so that i can do at home i hve lot many brass stuff with me

[@TonyandBigTonyFamily]

Make us a video, we all like to see how you do it

[@bobbyscalchi4013]

​@@davidstrickler6570 I like morhers mag polish before chrome polish. Really loosens up the residual in the metal. I buff with finger pads or cloth, wipe out then buff with a fresh light coating with the dremel and buff wheel.

thank you!

should of done the rim properly too though

[@zuhun]

can i use silver polish on brass?

[@comeasachild]

This is the finish I'd like to restore my kitchen cabinet doorknobs back to, but there's no way I can go through all these steps for each doorknob/door pull. I have Brasso, and I have barkeeper's friend (which has oxalic acid). I can clean them with that. Can I skip the other steps and just get the diamond paste 20,000 and use the polishing tool? If so, I need to know what the final polishing tool was that you used.

[@noimagination99]

I'd say just try it and see what works. Brass is easy to clean and polish. 20000 diamond grit is not needed. There are much cheaper, simpler, readily available polishes that are great for brass (because it is soft). Red Rouge should work.

[@user-sy7nx8zi5x]

Такое ощущение, что это часть чего-то.

[@brendanbullock1352]

Where does he buy the diamond polish from?

[@leongillmarcus3620]

You can get it from "Wintech Diamonds Products", I buy from them, good quality.

[@mlabvn]

Can i use vinegar to replace oxalic acid?

[@babymagnam]

研磨終了後の重量は……？

[@kewintaylor7056]

Should keep it a little bit black and have some nostalgic look!…😢

[@carolpoznik6985]

That's way too much like work.

[@CROOKLYN981]

Right

[@curiouscharacter1]

And after spending $35 on diamond paste he was able to successfully sell the cup on EBay for $3. Coming soon next week......the new video will continue polishing up to 380,000 grit!

"Реставрация" наждачкой?!

[@srikantdodamani9323]

It's better buy new piece waste of money

[@chibanix1347]

removing the patina is so stupid

[@huyked]

I don't know about stupid, but I do prefer the old look just for nostalgia sake. Everyone is different and will have preferences. My idea would be to polish the inside and lip so it can contain a beverage, but leave the outside's patina.

[@uschuster]

Don’t call your polishing „restoration“. It’s a very bad joke.

[@Mrsunrisezero]

YOU WEAR GLOVES, WASH WELL WITH SOAP TO REMOVE THE DIRT....RINSE, POUR AQUA FORTE( HYDROCHLORIC ACID) FROM THE SUPER MARKET AND IT'S READY IN SECONDS...RINSE WELL AND THAT'S IT..GOOD WIPE
