Age CAST ALUMINIUM with ONE Simple Household Product: SIMPLE STEPS!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2023
- On the episode we learn the process of ‘aging’ cast Aluminium. The steps are simple - and we only use one household product. It was a lot of fun to see the creation come to life. Puts a lot of depth into the cast and looks great- almost look’s magnesium!

Haha this is such a niche topic but I absolutely loved it. The dedication to making things look properly aged to the vehicle is such an unappreciated art.
My world is original paint ‘patina’ 60-70’s trucks modified and modernized enough daily drivers. I absolutely loathe the jarring contrast of old and new bits, so really really like the results y’all got here!
Thanks Mate! Always love creating weird finishes
Definitely raise EVERYTHING! I'm 6'4" and all the benches, tables, everything I make is 1 metre high. (yeah, I'm old, I still use feet and inches for some things haha!) The old 'rule of thumb' was that your vice should be at elbow height, meaning you stand at the vice and put your forearm flat straight across it. This will help your back.
Great advice .thank you
Spot on Glen!
This is brilliant! Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Awesome results
You guys are cool !!!
From Russia with love
That looks so cool! Take care!
Thanks! Definitely going to try this out!👍
Looks awesome!.
Great job!!
Clever, I love the finish!
Another home run. Very cool.
Done it again! Artistry and "magic"! Loved this. Thank you. Go Bennetts Customs, keep moving forward! Looking forward to what's next and the inspiration that awaits!
Thanks as always Murdoc!!
Yes my friends you are performing a redox reaction. your manifolds etc. are being oxidized and the the bronze is also being oxidized. the bronze is then plating out onto the manifolds. this color change should be permanent. I am a chemical engineer and it is great seeing complex chemistry at an everyday level...
Thanks John! It’s pretty cool how simple yet how well it works
Brilliant. Very interesting. Thanks great video. Have a great day. Cheers
I find this perplexing. Yet I understand your perspective. A short while back another channel did the exact opposite. The gentleman took an old cylinder head and polished it to a show quality finish. I could be wrong. He had roughly 80 hours into it. I enjoy your content.
What can I say........I'm just loving this channel.........Keep it up.
Thanks John!!
Great video and techniques ! It’s another tool in your chest ! Cheers from back home
Thanks Langley!
The Faux magnesium look is cool Jordan and low cost as well, will have to remember that one for future use, not sure if the beeswax will last long once the heads get hot but looks good. Cheers Greg
Yeah unsure about the wax too, will see what happens
Isn't that interesting how that happens 🤔, but those parts look flameing cool. 😎 👍 👌
Great job Jordan.
I wonder if the Aldi oxy action cleaner will work at half the cost. of the Vanish.
looks great and I suspect some level of electrolysis might be in play with that Bronze.
I have seen people heat steel Nuts and Bolts and then use a Brass wire brush to put a brassy sheen on the steel , wonder if the Brass in the Bronze is migrating because of the salts in the hot water.
Interesting finish to say the least.
Looks he goods mate - Emblem is in the mail
Thanks Gaz!
Your a long way.from a Time Hortons. Nice job.
Will any laundry detergent work or do I need to look for one with a specific ingredient?
It’s oxidation 😊
I soak polished alloy bits in bleach for a few hours, then rinse off the black sludge
Interesting! I’ve been collecting stuff for an 48 Anglia a pho old gasser. Mag wheels are so expensive. Maybe if I had aluminum wheels this process would work. You know how long it would keep color
I am a chemical engineer and what is being done is a redox reaction. Something is being oxidized and something is being reduced. The color should be permanent.
put everything on big castors to help raise things up. Tall people suffer from bad backs and hips cause everything is to low. I have a new sonic cleaner that does the same thing to aluminum using simple green. I was told its not the detergent. Its the heat that makes them darker.

Sure did make things look old, @1:37, it even works on you. 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Hahaha
I wonder if you would get more of a bronze color if you added more bronze bushings.
I believe it would for sure!
Love the Deep Sea Diver!
electrolyzes ..... Electrolysis is the process of using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This reaction takes place in a unit called an electrolyser. must be worth connecting bronze and ally to a car battery :) .... no clue just a guess :)
A very weak Caustic solution will grey/blacken Aluminium in the same way. Not too much Caustic or all threads etc. will disappear!😂
S was😂😅very Nice Looking forward
Can you please tell us how you aged the gentleman shown at 1:40 ??
Thanks
A one year old boy. 🤣
Keep up the good work..
I use a fish tank heater to keep the water warm.
Cheers from Montreal
well for the one's that say you just fuck the duck , well that maybe but how may times do you find a rare set of heads , only to realizing they were wall hangers because one is damaged beyond repair , or one in one barn on the east side of town that that's been painted red and a year later the other on the othe side of town thats been polished how do match them but still keep the old school looks like you did it .👍
👍😎👍
You need to put your blast cabinet up on something, bending over like that for a long time will lead to issues. I built a riser that has casters so I can stand up fully and move it easily. Love what you do but don't suffer unnecessarily for it.
Yes you are completely right!
Nice Tips.

Yeah I like shiny shit boys.. lol. 44k. Daaiimmm!!!
Go shine your golf ballzzz
When american makes video, it is talking talking talking and 1/10 is making
I like your work very much, but you talk too much, you should stop talking, good luck to you Even your page's fans will run away
