  • I have a question for you, how can I protect copper to stay shiny long-term state?
    Every advice will be highly appreciated!

    Today i present you this amazing Antique Syringe for flowers.
    I found this syringe in a flea market, in good working condition but very oxidized because it is copper,
    I changed the orings, and the gasket from inside de pump.
    This syringe was used many years ago in the garden to apply flower treatments and watering, now it's just a very bright and interesting decoration object.

    I’m actually working on restoring a wonder lamp right now. And along with that, I would like to mention that I am only 13, and with little prior experience with any tools, your videos have taught me how to restore things! When it’s done I will be posting it on Instagram and I will tag you in the post so you can see it.

    There is basic chemistry behind cleaning metal oxides with acid (vinegar). Bicarbonate neutralizes the acid, therefor t can't clean the oxides from the surface of the object. Vinegar and bicarbonate is used in cleaning only because it bubbles and that can help with clogged drains or similar but not when you need a precise chemical reaction or in other words when you need all the strength of the acid in braking down the oxides

    • @MisterHighway
      @MisterHighway Před 5 lety +20

      That's what I was going to comment! You can use the bicarbonate to stop the process when you are done treating the metal. Otherwise, realistically, you don't need to do anything but drain your acid & water bath and rinse with water when you're done, then continue your restoration process. Bicarbonate is used in the water to create your reaction when electrolysis rust removal is being used however!

      when i seen him adding the vinegar i was like omg he just made fizzy water

    • @furmf
      @furmf Před 5 lety +9

      Agreed. Bicarbonate and vinegar makes salt water which does nothing. The vinegar by itself will actually work.

    • @dimitariliew
      @dimitariliew Před 5 lety +3

      Yup, I was just about to write about that. First to use the acid for cleaning. Some says Bicarbonate cleaning the silver and other shiny metals, but I think it's more due to abrasive properties, than chemistry...

    • @DavidRachlinMLIS
      @DavidRachlinMLIS Před 5 lety

      Totally was going to say the same thing. You'd remove the corrosion much more easily with something like 0000 steel wool would also take off the corrosion, and is probably actually less abrasive than scotchbrite. You could also try a chelating agent like evaporust or MC51. Their websites both say that you can use them on brass, and they won't work on brass... which is super confusing, but since they definitely won't damage brass, it might be worth a try.

    Hi I have just seen the syringe video, my teenage years came rushing back. In the late 1950s my formidable grandmother then about 90 years old kept one loaded in a bucket of water in the kitchen of her cottage. The cottage Ryder Brow was originally built in the countryside but the expansion of Manchester left it surrounded by terraced housing but it still retained a small garden which she loved. However, all the local cats also loved scratching around and messing it up. She would squirt at them as they walked along the back yard wall. The cap with the single hole gives long range jet.
    I believe that she got the syringe to act as a fire extinguisher when Manchester was being bombed in WW2.

Or a walk down Hyde Road to Belle Vue, to see the zoo, or go in the fun fare on the ''Bobs' or the ''water chute'''. Wow 50+ years ago!

  • @whitehoose
    @whitehoose Před 5 lety +7

    Agree with Ian Allen, it's a spray often used to spray a soap solution for tackling greenfly on roses ... when I was a boy in the 60s these were still very common as they were also used during WWII by the homeguard fire services so there was one on every street corner ... between the two uses just about everyone who tended a garden had one. And they made excellent high pressure water pistols.
    The ONLY way to preserve the patina of copper is to use it regularly, the acid/grease on your hands combined with the friction of use are good for many metals. Daily use results in a natural darker gloss patina which also protects the surface, you can polish it off to get a better shine but then it starts to oxidise.
    The cleaned results at 10:44 show a decent "nutty" sheen - but the scouring pad has damaged the surface opening it to verdigris formation.
    If it has to be polished a coat of marine varnish cut to 50% with white spirit will seal it - but it's then vulnerable to corrosion and will be difficult to clean once it starts to tarnish.

    Cet arrosoir à piston est fantastique !
    Nous sommes aujourd'hui le 1° juin 2019 et je viens de passer l'après-midi à regarder vos vidéos et celles de votre ami " my mechanics " . Je constate une chose: Les objets sont beaux et conçus pour être réparés : ils sont complètement démontables, avec des éléments qui peuvent être facilement dupliqués !
    Le tout jetable n'était pas encore à la mode, loin de là : tout était fait pour durer !
    C'est d'ailleurs l'extrême solidité de ces objets qui vous permet de les chiner aujourd'hui et de les restaurer pour nôtre plus grand plaisir !
    Quant à votre question, si elle est toujours d'actualité, je ne vois qu'une solution : Vernissez votre " seringue à rosiers " . Je pense d'ailleurs que les difficultés que vous avez rencontrées pour nettoyer le réservoir viennent du fait que tout l'instrument avait dû être vernis pour sa protection .

  • @357magdad
    @357magdad Před 5 lety +14

    For display purposes (not a lot of handling), a paste wax will keep it shiny. Plus it is easy to re-apply. Clear lacquer is more durable, but once it chips, it is a lot of work to re-sand and re-paint. For cracks in wood I like to mix some of the saw dust with wood glue.

  • @scottadler
    @scottadler Před 5 lety +17

    Don't add bicarbonate to the vinegar! The bicarb neutralizes the vinegar and reduces its ability to remove oxide.
    If you want to protect copper (or in this case brass), give it a coating of ordinary hair spray.

  • @flyingpictures1100
    @flyingpictures1100 Před 5 lety +59

    Adding bicarb just makes the vinegar less active, Use bicarb to wash the piece after soaking in vinegar.

    • @AstoundingAmelia
      @AstoundingAmelia Před 5 lety

      I find a good way to do stuff like that is with a drill and a damp cloth with bicarb on it, like a very mild abrasive

  • @VadoVoodoo
    @VadoVoodoo Před 5 lety +39

    There is no way of permanently preserving the shine of brass. I've seen many methods tried to preserve the shine of brass, lacquers, varnishes, etc, but in the end (As the above methods eventually decay and become dull and extremely difficult to remove and clean the metal again..) the only way to preserve a shine is the hard way and to use brasso or some other metal polish of your choice when it looks like it needs it, get the duster out and polish it.
    Oxidization will always win in the end.

    • @arghjayem
      @arghjayem Před 5 lety +12

      John Banks I agree there aren’t many good ways to prevent oxidation of brass, only elbow grease to keep it polished and shiny. And I know most people seem to like the polished shiny look but I was always taught that unless it affects the function of a part or tool, removing oxidation from metals like brass and aluminium was vein and pointless and potentially detrimental to the longevity of the tool. Oxidation forms on the surface from the metal reacting with the air and moisture forming an oxide. But the oxide layer on the metal isn’t deep and typically once formed prevents further oxidation of the metal by forming a thin barrier, after all an oxidation of a metal can’t be oxidised. So by removing the layer of the oxidation for the sake of polishing a metal to look nice, all you’re really doing is resetting the process and stripping away some of the metal itself albeit in oxidised form. Only a tiny amount but do it often enough and you’ll have no metal left to polish. So if the metal doesn’t need polishing to function really you shouldn’t do it. Good example of this is in jewellery and watches wear scratches and daily wear marks are left on the surface and all that’s really done is cleaning up grime rather than polishing out to get rid of scratches and wear.

    • @Afterburner
      @Afterburner Před 5 lety +1

      There is storing it in a pure nitrogen atmosphere to stop the oxidation process, but you are right, in the end, short of putting the piece into outer space, it will eventually find oxygen coming after it again. lol. Good old scrubbing and elbow grease to keep it looking beautiful.

    • @PaulaXism
      @PaulaXism Před 5 lety +2

      120 years ago they knew what to do.. they used a form of electroplating.. the nice dull red was the copper they deliberately deposited on the brass to prevent corrosion.. copper sulphate and a battery plus a copper plate or similar.. the red dull copper coating on these old water tools is deliberate, for the same reason we use copper water pipes and chrome our brass taps.. copper oxide (brown.. some valency or other) is virtually non reactive with clean water

    One option to protect it from oxidizing is Renaissance Wax. They use it for the very purpose of preventing oxides from developing on antique copper in museums. Very easy to apply and buff. But, I would only use this if it were a piece that is not going to be used often. If it will be put to regular use, a spray lacquer might be best.

    For oxidation, just use a metal polish from time to time.
    Here in USA we have many like flitz, nev-r-dull, etc. Just pick on that's ok on brass. Nev-r-dull is nice because the wadding with the chemical comes in a can and you can just pull a piece and use it.
    I've used flitz on brass before with no issue.
    I also like the idea of a synthetic paint sealant for cars like nu-finish. As long as it's synthetic should work. Just rub on thin layer, let it flash and haze, then buff off.

    As Nitro said Shellac, or a Laquer very thin coat, spray it on. On smaller objects, I have used clear nail polish on copper screws, even clear nail polish on silver works wonders for years and years. For the clear nail polish which is an enamel, use an air brush, for smaller objects that tarnish it does work great.
    AS well, correct me if iam wrong this is Brass not Copper... copper is a reddish hue to it brass is more of the golden color, since it IS copperwith Tin it it. Does it still oxidize yes, but browns first then greens. Either way, Shellac, Laquer, and Enamel thinly sprayed over thoroughly dried (even warmed brass/copper/silver works better) metal works the best.
    Great Videos btw...I do love the restos.

    The epoxy in the wood crack makes me cringe. Don't do that... Wood glue mixed with saw dust from the same wood works wonders and done right make it look like there was never a crack... :-) great work btw lol

      Epoxy is easier and usually better then sawdust and wood glue wood glue is not made to fill cracks where as epoxy can I would agree to mix sawdust in but not to wood glue

      @@AstoundingAmelia Epoxy is stronger, but if it's not a crack that has to carry weight, just using wood glue with some wood shavings works perfectly as filler.

      That is a sweet trick I have never heard of. Mixing sawdust with wood glue as a filler. Now to find some cracked wood...

    How to protect the copper? Clear spray on varnish will keep it shiniest for longest.
    Kind of glad to see you using gloves there. Some of the older pesticides contained nasty things that will persist for a long time....Sodium Arsenate was not uncommonly used.

    Aliclean for getting the crap off of alloy wheels gets the oxidisation off of brass pretty well too. After buffing, the best metal polish is Solvol Autosol. Get it on Ebay. If you need to keep the finish for display, wash all traces of polish off with brake cleaner or similar and buff with a soft dry cloth, then spray with clear laquer.

    Hey Tysy, nice work my friend! I see you have learned your lesson and now you polish brass (this is not copper). Of course it takes more time polishing in comparisson to grinding down the oxidation but isn´t the result AMAZING?! One last advice, try to keep components to an original state. I doubt this had rubber seals in the years it was made. I would have used the same 'canepa' seals also instead of the rubber seals. Keep it up and grow a profitable business out of it. Hard work will get you big bux one day. FYI, I restore vintage mopeds and love your work. I somehow do not get to youtube my work due to time restrains but now that I see your work I think twice to uploading my work too.
