Rusty German Helmet Preservation - M35 SE62

In this video, I will show full preservation of the German Helmet M35 SE62 size 62 from the World War II. This helmet has been in the ground for 75 years. As a result of the restoration, the original paint and the color of the helmet were preserved.

[@davidatkinson3887]

the old adage "rust never sleeps" and my guess is there is some still rust under the surface , especially under the fold of the rim .

[@ilesiprazor2437]

The only one problem with Oxalic is that if you let it too long in, the color of the helmet change.. had it often. Now, i dont let it more than 30 mn. Great videos!

[@nikosnikos9952]

i agree. this is very common and very strange. and insulting. also happens very often with comments too, supposedly "unappropriate" for youtube, they bann thousands of viewers for no serious reason. like youtube is trying to enforce a particular policy or strategy. i think it is time for ELECTED goverments to take action and shut down youtube for good. there will be plenty of social platforms for us to use. it is dangerous to let a NON ELECTED company rule and dictate what people say or do. this is facism

Good job and great final result! Only I wouldn't use hammer to get rust off the helmet, in that way you can damage helmet and get holes on in....it's too rough! I use some kind of steel brush, that cleans the largest rust pieces without affecting the original color. ;)

3 days in the vinegar and can be thrown out.

​@@wwiituberestoration1011I agree that the vinegar can be dangerous, but only if the metal very thin or completely compromise. Personally, i prefer preserve the helmet and not the paint, but this is only a my opinion. I like your videos in any case . 😉

このくらいの仕上がりもいいね。

[@heinzdauer9487]

Gute aufwendige Arbeit ! Ich wäre aber anders damit umgegangen wie folgt.: 1. Einsprühen mit Rostlöser , mindestens für 24 Stunden einwirken lassen. 2. Danach mit Heißwasser Hochdruckreiniger behandeln. 3. Nach trocknen Sandstrahlen. 4. Mit Rostschutz und anschließend mit Füller lackieren. 5. Dann Nassschleifen mit 380er Schleifpapier nachschleifen mit 500hunderter. 6. Erst danach mit authentischer Farbe lackieren. 7. Wenn möglich bei 80 Grad für 1 Std. Trocknen und Auskühlen lassen. Das wäre meine Vorgehensweise als ehemaliger Lackierermeister gewesen. 🧐

[@Luftwaffel1944]

Bloß nicht, der helm hatte noch originale Farbe.

How to mixed the wax. Can you give me a detail. And what purposed?

WOW

[@sdvtracker718]

Excellent preservation of the helmet + preservation of original paintwork Try deep soaking of the item in solution of benzotriazole (BTA) + alcohol (you must first check the reaction with the original paint), followed by the application of microcrystalline wax + solvent. Sorry for the inaccurate translation. I use Google Translate.

I want to try benzotriazole for conservation helmet. Maybe in the next video.

[@DDR-Soldaten]

So im ordering an original m35 that’s rusty like yours, is there anyway I could send it to you and you restore it?

[@wwiituberestoration1011]

I'm sorry, but I cannot help you, because I restore only my own items.

[@cs2to4]

@@wwiituberestoration1011 Are there any books on exactly how to restore helmets, for people who have never done it before? Where would someone start? Thank you.

[@realcritical-kr2dd]

@@cs2to4 you can start by using vinegar water which I know for a fact it will get rid of the rust for most part. Probably let it sit for about 3 to 4 days or more if it isn't ready yet, if it's ready, then proceed to wash it with water and dry it up because the rust will appear again so whatever is left on the stahlhelm use a wire brush to scrape the rest of the rust still left hanging, most of the rust should be gone. After cleaning it up, paint it with etching primer to prevent the rust from appearing. Then, after that paint it whatever colour you want original or leave as is, your choice 😉 this dude was no helpful since he only does his own stuff and not even give us hints or help any of us. If left too long in vinegar water, I'll start eating up the piece of steel. I tested out with rusty variant pieces found laying around so you often have to check if it's ready to clean. If there's small holes on the stahlhelm, use JB weld originals to fix the holes. But if you wanna save the pant and not lose its value, then use that oxalic acid to get rid of the rust without hurting the paint.

[@victorfalcon2463]

At first I thought that the helmet was painted green, but now I’m wondering what the green stuff covering the paint was, some reversible affect from the paint aging, some sort of mold, or something else. Edit: the thumbnail worried me.

[@cocketielpost3780]

why didn't you use rust remover to remove the rusts?

@Connor LambFurlotte Depends on what you mean with 'restore' if you have a really rusty helmet, and you derust it revealing alot of paint, it can easily become more expensive.

[@JustaGuy1250]

that'd be a dumb idea, these helmets aren't that strong anymore as normal helmets so drop the once and you might break them... these should just be in museums or private collections on display

[@buki29]

The movie company would just buy reproductions rather than spending a lot of money on originals
