Rusted Jammed Pliers Tool Restoration - Mirror Finish | Mister Patina
I started with an inspection and found out, that the pliers didnt even work. So i put them into white vinegar for 12 hours and brushed them with a wirebrush in water with industrial cleaner. The result was good, the pliers was able to move but had serious rust left. So i put the pliers in my sandblasting cabinet and gave them a nice blast with fine granules. After sandblasting the pliers, i could see some serious marks and defects left on the surface. I filed for a long time to get rid of most of the defects, but some marks would be left.
After sanding from 80/120/180/240/320 to scotch brite, the surface was very good and ready for mirror shine polishing. I started the mirror polish with the hard compound, and ended it with a fine compound for ultimate mirror shine. After that, the surface was very shiny altough some defects and marks were still left. But thats the Patina ;-)
This time i filmed the process of putting some oil on it for rust protection. I used regular machine oil, you could also use car wax etc.
The Final result of the Pliers Restoration isnt perfect, it had several holes and serious marks still left. But i think a Little Patina isnt wrong :)
I hope you like the video, thanks for watching!
If you have any questions or suggestions, you can write an email, i try to answer asap.

[@crabtreeshep4969]

Great results Mr P! Another restoration that inspires me. I think oil is my favorite rust inhibitor. All those you mentioned are equally good I'm sure. Please keep the videos coming, I've almost watched them all and enjoyed every one of them! Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@D100janovski]

here are some tips that i think might help you in the future: 1. leave it in vinegar way longer (1-2 days) than before 2. use the wire wheel right after the vinegar bath 3. id use the files as a finishing touch to smoothen out the edges

Probably for doing safety wire. Smooth jaws won't nick the wire.

Hola, Cuánto tiempo aproximadamente se tarda en hacerlo ??

[@misterpatina]

10-12 horas

[@navigatorofnone]

I am wondering why you did not put rubber handles for this particular pliers.

[@taab7]

Still got a lot of scratches probably from the file. Is it possible to get a perfect finish with no scratches whatsoever?

[@royothebuzz]

Mister Patina, Congratulations on another fine project with an excellent result, but there is something I have to say and as a subscriber I feel at liberty to say that the sandblasting is a highlight for me but there is something about your camera shot of it that just won't do. Its dark and unclear, I want to see it clearly. Another thing, your fine compound brought a nice shine to the handles of the pliers but I would have liked to have seen rubber grips on them. Anyway, carry on.

[@misterpatina]

Hey royo, the problem with my sandblasting cabinet is, that i dont have an air suction, so it looks pretty dusty. But i´ll get a new one the next time :-)

[@royothebuzz]

@@misterpatina Fair enough. Looking forward to the next vid. Cheers.

[@DozeyDragoN]

Klasse restaurierte Zange! 👍🏼 Hab gerade ein paar alte Zangen erworben und sehr ähnliches vor. Leider hat der Vorbesitzer die Zangen am Kopf mit einem Goldlack vollgesprüht 🤬 ... Hast Du eine Idee, wie man vor dem entrosten den Lack am schonensten entfernen kann? Grüße Jan, Abo steht! 🌳⛺️🌲

[@misterpatina]

Moin, danke fürs Abo! Naja, wenn deine Zange schon rostet, ist der Lack ja das kleinste übel. Drahtbürste und los geht’s, das hält der Lack nicht aus :-) Bei weiteren Fragen kannst du dich gerne melden, email steht in der kanalinfo! Grüße!

don't use vinegar for derusting, use citric acid, works a heaven better

[@tomnorton8218]

When you sandblasted what grit do you consider "very fine"?

Thanks for your comment Tom! The granules i used got 0,1-0,3mm.

How long did it take you to restore that?
