this may be common knowledge but us young ones didn't know this , thank you for the video
Tons of how-to's and this is the absolute best I've seen. You're absolutely right that forcing the look ends up looking forced. Thank you for reasonable, natural looking detailed instructions.
Well I used this method to darken a ping magnesium bronze putter that had been polished. Worked brilliantly. I just suspended the putter head over a container of white vinegar and enclosed it all in a plastic bag to seal it. Next morning boom - perfect.
That works amazingly well Stuart. The results are fantastic. I figured that they would have been varnished from the manufacturer which would have made this process very difficult. I am glad to hear that they specifically made their brass items with the development of patina over time in mind.
When I was in the Navy we used Never-Dull to polish the brass junction box covers, handles, etc. When at sea we did not polish exterior brass. It would have been a losing battle, and we didn't have the time to spare besides. But when we made port, or anchored we had to start sometimes with a solid green item. We were not expected to make it perfect on the first go but within a few days they wanted it to be a brass mirror. It was simple and satisfying busy work.
I am going to give your method a try this weekend.
Nice one Stuart, I worked with a French polisher for about five years and we would use this method to patinise brass, cheap and effective....
Great tip, however in my house it would take 8 hours to find a lid that fits one of the dozens of Tupperware (and other variants) containers we have in the cupboard and strangely the same quantity of lids, which never fit each other correctly. Tupperware fairies move them around the house never to be a match again, then on the obligatory 10 year kitchen change they all appear under the kitchen units you are changing. Grrr
Yeah similar issue at mine so I had to go out and buy one. cling film should work as well as a lid!
That is soo true and very funny! 😂👍
matching socks and tupperware lids... where DO they go?
Nahthen from Lincoln Stu! A brilliant and very easy way of giving a helping hand to nature, if you're in a hurry. But like you, I like to let nature take it's course, though I can see this method being useful if I want uniformity of patina between older brass on the bike and newer acquisitions. Another useful informative vid Stu, thanks! 👍
Is it just me or does anyone else prefer it new and shiny looking ? My dad was a cabinet maker and would use this method if he restored furniture.
Very helpful. Some methods describe using salt in the vinegar. None said to raise the object out of the vinegar. Off to do that on my ferrule now. TX
This was fantastic information! Not that I needed brass parts for a bike... but I did want to learn how to re-patina some brass I tried cleaning that I then didn't like the look of. I did have to speed up the video to 1.5 times normal .... sorry.... impatient American here. Though I was still able to appreciate your lovely accent and get the great info.
I really like this method, thanks for the share.
Great tip, and another great video. Thanks Uncle Stu' Ride safe, and God bless.
Great video. I did this on my brass parts only I used apple cider vinegar just because it's what I had. Once they dulled up they looked way nicer against the blue on my speedmaster.
I like the shiny look, but to each his own
Video well done. I wish I had more that one item to patinize.
Interesting Stuart but I do like polishing all the brass on my bike. In fact I just went through all the brass polishing it up for a bike nite at the dealer last night 13 pieces except the two brass bolts holding the headlight.🙂 yes I have a bling problem but after all it is a Motone Custom award winner 😃.. Cheers Mate
Brilliant video as always Stuart and an excellent “how to” for ageing brass parts 😃👍🏻
If you had an vintage bike, you can bet when it was new the brass was polished and took time to develop a patina, simply wait until it looks like you want then spray it with a 2k clear coat, personally I like the polished look so I just polish it, spray it with 2k clear coat.
Cheap & cheerful , nice one Stu , cracking result to be fair
Stuart awesome job
🙋♂️ 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Great camera work as ever. I really enjoyed the simplicity and Zen of this one. I'm half expecting that KTM dude to pop up again and inform us that they have better techniques for achieving the optimum personalised patina on their Pickelhauben.
LOL
Great video Stu! The results look superb! Be well, Sir.
Uncle Stu even the wife watched your video
Now that’s impressive
Carry on the great information
Anything happening on the Classic 350 chrome Red mmmmmmmmm
Very cool method, thanks for sharing.😊
Stu I was thinking u should take a look at AEW TE201 exhaust for the RE INT 650 they make it look like a Bonneville hahaha.
Very interesting looks and sound, and makes room for saddlebags.
I have used your system on my UN Korea medal and iam very pleased with the result. Had to do it 3 times but got the colur i wanted . Very easy system. Would it be a good idea to protect the colour by spraying with a lacquer???. Thank you for your assistance. Mike
Great vid. Thank-you.
Great video very useful, thanks 😊
Instead of using a whole half liter of vinegar you might encourage the vaporisation by putting the container into a hot water bath. Anyway: thank you for the idea.
Nice vid!... I knew a guy who was making brass jewelry, and he would use his own urine to achieve fancy effects on them 😯 You may want to try this next time ! 😅
Good info Thanks
There once was a man from Madras,...
I remember as a nipper shining up copper coins with vinegar and brown sauce!
Stuart, you build the coolest looking bikes Kits very impressive. Where did you learn all of this? Very talented individual. You should do Calanders with your builds.
Well I like shiny Stu😊👍
Because my UN Korea medal was a very patchy bronze I decided to polish it back to brass. Now I would like to return it to dark brown colour bronze. How can I do this please. Mike
Pretty cool, and well done. I personally knew about the vinegar trick, but can't believe people would return a new brass part because it's polished. Ridiculous.
Some things baffle me. I thought they would complain because it does tarnish.
Yeah i remember talking to Motone when they were developing the brass range and they thought tarnishing would be the biggest issue with customers. No logic in this world!
Thanks for a great video Stu. I love brass not just because of its look but also because of how easy it is to work, even on a chap lathe. I must be unique here though because I do like to keep it polished, I should have shares in Autosol. All the best Chris...
Thank you for the amazing video. Looking forward to doing this. WHAT ACCENT IS THIS??
I'm surprised that you were surprised that the strange people that want brass complained it was shiny ! So is it only folks that own shire horses want shiny is that how it works ? ........ Just having a little tease , you'll never tempt me over to the brass side shiny or patinised ! Hope this doesnt cause a stampede down at poundstretcher and a slew of complaints from bikers that bugger it up !
Have you done a chrome vid? Think I want the red chrome R Enfs....
21 Feb, hi I have a faucet, company said it was antique brass, it’s bright yellow gold looking. Can I use the vinegar process?
Might do, depends if the finish is lacquered or not.
