I will restore this Zippo lighter someone had found from the ground. It was most likely lost by an US army man years ago, but I don’t think it has been in any war. The lighter is very oxidized and most of the old plating is gone. The insert is in much better condition but it also need a little restoration. Luckily the hinge is not broken so I don’t have to repair it. That is not easy.
I started the restoration with disassembly. The lighter doesn’t have many parts so this was easy to do. I used a miniature propane torch to loosen the emblem. I decided to use rust remover for the steel insert and ketchup for the brass shell to remove oxidation.
After oxidation was removed, I needed to sand off the remaining old plating from the shell. If I didn’t it would be really hard to get a good finish on the piece. After sanding the plating off I polished the parts with wool buffing wheel and metal polishing compound.
Before I could re-plate the polished parts they needed to be cleaned from grease and polishing compound. I used acetone for the job. Then it was time to replate the parts with nickel. I used electroplating method. You can learn more about that from here: • How to make simple DIY...
After the plating, I attached the emblem back on with some solder. I used flux to help the solder flow between the parts. It might look like the solder didn’t go between the parts but it only needs very little solder in there because the layer is so thin. As you can see I scratched the part quite violently and it sticks.
Then I assembled the rest of the lighter and added new cotton, wick and other parts on the inside.

Everyone's on about restoration skills and the lack of music, but can I just commend you on your dedication and creativity? I don't think these videos would be nowhere near as entertaining to watch. Setting up for some of these shots has to be time consuming, but the execution is top notch. Great job with everything, the restoration, the camerawork, the jokes, and the editing! Edit: I meant to continue the second sentence. What I meant to say was that I didn't think these vids would be nowhere near as entertaining as are if it was just shots from the same camera angle.

Awesome resto. Just wanted to share a small tip on the solder joint for the emblem. To keep the joint seamless for such a large emblem you can clip some small pieces of solder and flatten them with a hammer. Then you just put 1 or 2 of those chips on your flux and put the emblem on top of it. Clamp the piece like you did and heat up around the emblem for a bit to warm up the flux and surrounding metal. Then aim at the emblem until it settles into place. That’ll keep the solder joint on the back of the emblem instead of on the edges.

That Zippo was made in March 1991. I can't believe that it was that badly worn down, and I can't believe it looks that great! I found a 1962 Zippo metal detecting that was filled with rust inside. It took two hours to open, and I went through it and got it repaired and working well again. One one hand, I like the wear marks and whatnot as it tells a story but on the other hand I love how yours turned out!!

As usual, excellent job! To hide the solder, use a razor blade and shave of tiny amounts of the solder. Add it to the flux in the center of the badge. Place badge in correct position and clamp. Then add heat. The solder will melt and flow under the badge from the center outward. You don’t have to wick it from the side in to the center. This will prevent any solder affecting your perfect nickel plating. Cheers and keep up the good work.

Wait, so it was water? I thought "liquid ice" is a nickname for some solution that doesn't freeze when the temperature is below zero so it can have the temperature of ice yet stay liquid. You know, like the "dry ice" thing which is actually frozen CO2 so it doesn't turn into water but is still called "ice".

I restored a few of these in my time and soldered emblems and coins to them. You applied the solder to the outside edge thus making a messy pool of solder there which would look even more obvious on a brass zippo. To overcome this, I made a tiny ring of multicore solder and clamped it under the emblem, applied heat from a blow torch and when the solder melts, the clamp pushes the emblem onto the surface of the case. Done!

I had no idea THAT is what the little hole in the pad is for!! Like most morons, I always squirted the lighter fluid through the hole (ignoring the obvious instructions) and promptly set fire to my hand and the entire casing. This is why you have a wonderful KZbin channel and I have a badly burned hand.
