Corroded Antique Bronze Teapot
Hi everyone, I'm Hans.
I found this wonderful ancient bronze teapot at a flea market, it was very corroded, I'm not sure how old it is but it's probably a few hundred years old.
I love to hand restore or polish these things, I spent a lot of time restoring it and I'm very happy with the results.
Relax and enjoy the satisfying process of hand restoring or polishing.

Baking soda added to vinegar only causes this visual effect but in practice it cancels out the acidic properties of the vinegar. It's just waste. Some material was still removed as it was not completely diluted, although it had lost much of its original strength. But salt?

[@user-vd8gu3uy6t]

Nice😊

After all these grinding and polishing,
I thought the Djinn will come out. 😄

[@Polishing_Maniac]

LOL, Thanks for watching~

Уважаемый Мастер! А где джин из лампы.

[@frick566]

So you neutralized the vinegar that would actually clean the patina off why?

[@WatcherintheDark69]

Because it makes it fizz and look like it's a faster solvent. It's a staple of fake restoration videos.

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

@@frick566 Vinegar has two effects: removing green patina and creating brown patina. Therefore it is necessary to neutralize it if you want to have a shiny result. :-)

[@stevenwillis548]

Beautiful result. Looking forward to more videos.

[@Polishing_Maniac]

Thanks!

How old was that teapot?

[@googoogjoobgoogoogjoob]

Why mix acidic vinegar with alkaline baking soda - is just for the initial, camera-friendly bubbles?

[@heinzandress8505]

I guess...it is mostly for the show. It is neutral as water, around 7.5 PH, wich actually will do nothing to corosion, or rusty oxidation. Electrolysis would had been great... just did not made it? Or just: fake it, till you made it??? So sad!

[@user-tq5lu1wp7e]

Es gibt keine chemische, sondern eine physikalische Reaktion. Der freigesetzte Sauerstoff löst Krusten an. Mit dem Trick, Backpulver plus Essig kann man auch Abflüsse reinigen und verkrustete Backbleche.

[@googoogjoobgoogoogjoob]

@@user-tq5lu1wp7e No. NaHCO3 + HC2H3O2→ NaC2H3O2 + H2O + CO2. The CO2 would dissipate in solution fairly quickly, with a minimal effect on the corrosion, and soaking in the resulting neutral solution would also have little effect on the corrosion. Best to soak in acidic vinegar alone, then neutralize it prior to rubbing the metal with a wire brush. The bubbles here are just a gimmick.

[@SSoptimist]

Just dipping in vinegar overnight and scrubbing with scotch brite with any dish washing soap would have served the purpose.....

Зачем уксус гасить содой?

[@jamieblake2823]

Great video. 👍

[@greatlambrini8722]

When I see something so “corroded” and green, I know it is definitely faked. Real items do not look like that.

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

True. China and India produces tons of that "antique" scrap. And they still find enough idiots...😊

[@MrGUSARIK]

It's bronze. Bronze oxidizes green.

[@michaelbuchholz2164]

@@MrGUSARIK Yes, it is bronze. But the patina is fake. And another point: If it would be real, it is the biggest mistake to remove it. ;-)
