    Most of your work is counter active.
    The proper way is to simply let it soak in the vinegar (which is acidic). You can add regular table salt and it will swing the ph so it work faster. One tsp to quart roughly. Then let it soak for 30 minutes. Things like car copper radiator that is thin, you spray it on only for 5-10 minutes. Then light brush work if needed. If it all doesn’t come off easily, soak longer.
    Then once clean, this is where the baking soda comes in. Mix some water and baking soda and rinse off the acid (vinegar) to neutralize it. Then a rinse of just water.
    Adding the baking soda directly to the vinegar is just the baking soda killing the effectiveness of the vinegar.
    Those bubbles are not cleaning anything. They actually make it worse and is corrosive in itself.
    Any welding supply shop when asked can shoe this. Compressed cylinders for things like oxygen, carbon dioxide, argon, etc. - the expensive containers only can be used for caron dioxide once it has had it i. There one time. Because it corrodes the tank. And the pressure testing for those tanks is a shorter time intervals because of it even though the content is non flammable.
    You can take “dry ice” which is carbon dioxide in solid form and use it to scrub copper, and you will see there is no cleaning value, you will actually see it begin to corrode the material. In science lab class this is a demonstration used to make the new copper become green from speeding up oxidation.

      I meant to add,
      An experiment if you want to prove what I am saying is find a small piece of copper tubing that is corroded. Cut it in half.
      Do half the way in the video and other half the way I say.
      Mine will be amazingly shiny with soaking for an hour and a quick brushing then baking soda rinse.
      Compared to his/her 24 hour soak.
      He/She soaked for 24 hours because the amount of soda added weakened the vinegar so radically.
      I hope this helps, and in no way intend to insult the maker of the video. I think someone probably explained it to them incorrectly.

    I gave this a shot, and came to the conclusion that the baking soda and salt are of no use. The vinegar and soda are acid and alkaline, and cancel each other out, with salty water as a by-product. I stood my pot in this mixture over night, but there was no evidence of cleaning at all. However, I mixed together tomato ketchup and vinegar, and smeared that around the inside of the pot; the ketchup served to keep the acid on the surface, rather than running off instantly. Within hours all but the worst of the tarnish and green corrosion had gone. The down side is that now my hands stink.
    The only possible value in using soda could be that when the bubbles form, they form under particles of dirt and corrosion, thus forcing them off - just like false teeth cleaner. Also, the bubbles from the chemical reaction is fun.

      i used vinegar alone on a copper coin and it corroded it, while on bronze coins it worked perfectly.
      it may depend on the alloy but i think vinegar alone on copper isnt a good idea

    • @SlimThrull
      @SlimThrull 2 роки тому +3

      @@MARK-gp9hb Vinegar that you buy for cooking is only about 10% vinegar. While this is an acid, it isn't at a terribly high concentration so it won't corrode things (or at least, not quickly). In this case, that doesn't matter though. The salt and the vinegar react with the copper oxide forming an ion of copper. This ion dissolves in water. So, as the reaction takes place the copper oxide is transformed into a copper ion which dissolves in water. The copper that isn't already oxidized (the metallic copper) doesn't much react with any of these things. And the tiny bit that does react will be broken down into that copper ion and dissolved into the water.

    • @ImperatorCaesar22
      @ImperatorCaesar22 2 роки тому

      But it creates Co2 which when dissolved in water creates carbonic acid which can remove corrosion in a milder fashion than acetic acid. But since it's just CO2 in water, you might as well just use soda water. Coke is great too since it contains the addition of phosphoric acid. Molasses also works. Just make sure the metal is fully washed and sealed with something to prevent further corrosion

I decided to try to clean them and just realized they were copper, but I'm scared to get it too wet because I don't want water getting under it on the wood. I will just have to be careful.

    I know the patina created for oxidizing protects the structure over time, but if you polish and remove the oxidized layers, are you essentially removing layers of metal and over time it will diminish? Like a hardwood floor refinished over and over?

      Hi, sorry for my late answer. Cleaning with this method is very easy. After finishing you need only to wash copper with clean water. I have a lot of copper stuff I use it for my garden for flowers and there was no problems with corrosion. But I love the blue/green patina on copper it gives old rustic look.

    • @mightymateo3
      @mightymateo3 2 роки тому +1

      Corrosion in this case is actually oxidation, so no it doesn't harm it like rust does to iron. In a lot of case, like with aluminum, the oxidation can actually create a protective layer.
