I always used a really fine steel wool like 0000 and it gives a nice shiny brushed look on brass, but i really like how polished the pens you cleaned came out! The editing and music were done really well it was my favorite part!
If you guys take some Flitz polishing compound and a polishing drill head from Amazon you can literally have a mirror finish identical to the one in the video! It's insane how good Flitz work with a buffer attachment on a drill.
For people wondering why you would want to remove Patina, I have a certain brass bead I like to put on my lanyards, but they come with a decent amount of patina. I like to patina my own stuff so I always remove their patina so that i can slowly build up my own
Yep! Make it yours! Also some metals patina faster than others based on machining, coolants, oils, etc that that parts come in contact with during the manufacturing process.
question: do you know of a product to coat and protect EDC pens? I have a brass pencil which was super shiny and is really dull now. I want to shine it but also make sure it doesnt dull again.
MMMMM Topo Chico!! Love that stuff. It's everywhere here in Texas. Along with Ozarka, it's one of the best things about Texas. The lime version is superb.
Man, isn't it strange how our perceptions change over time? I clearly remember wondering why anyone would feel the need to spend more on a knife than about the price of a Buck 110! And more than a few bucks on a flashlight, c'mon... I spent just over a hundred dollars on my latest EDC kit, and that doesn't include the cost of my Galaxy Gear 2 watch, cell phone, Leatherman Wave, Boker Kalashnikov, pen, or an organizer. I can't decide if I want to go with an engineer from Hitch and Timber or something more like a Yellow Birch or Maxpedition that I could hang from my belt. Hitch and Timber looks so damn cool, but belt-mounted Cordura is a lot less likely to pull down my britches.
You have to drink the Topo Chico glass bottle straight out the fridge... even better the lime version! Put one or two bottles in a gallon of lemonade 🤫
both of you are saying it incorrectly "Topo" means Mole, the animal, check the pronunciation on GTranslate (type "Mole animal"). Nice video, Like from Spain!
You can get that mirror polish at home with buffing wheel. Just a lil bit of mothers and paper. Definitely recommend mothers over everything else including brasso. And you don't need to clean it first using bar keepers friend before polish is wasting time and money.
first slur your lips together, very quickly slop out the words topo, the key is quickly spray out the words as if they were one sound..topo....sweat drink.

Never remove the patina! So excited for my tactile turn bolt action!
Totally unrelated to edc but I’m glad Topo Chico blew up! Small bottling company from my home town Monterrey, Nuevo León , Mexico. So proud!
Notification Gang! Finally brass patina videos!

What also works is a damp cloth and cigarette ashes hahah it really works. Tried it with the Kaweco Supra Brass
Almost at 100k!! Well deserved!
Lemon juice or ketchup works just as good
This is how I keep my brass stuff looking like new.
Taylor wast hungry and didn't want to lick ketchup off his fingers :P
Why would you ever want to remove a patina?!?
If you get it used an want to start over is a good reason imo
@@legendsof4207this is literally why im even here rn... i love a patina but i wanna be the one to create it
Toe-po Chico, I lived in Mexico for a few years, and drank gallons of the stuff, definitely toe-po chico
Boom! Settled

the big design brass and copper comes with a rough finish, I am also temted to polish the smoother before the start to patina

How did you remove the lacquer on the zippo and the force the patina?
What refills do you use as opposed to the pilot G2?

New subscriber here...love your videos man. I got the EDC bug as well and am evolving my gear. Very good info in your vids and very relaxing to watch
So flitz and a buffing wheel?
What's the best patina brass or copper?
What compound was used on the buffer wheel?
Topo Chico is the National soda of Texas. So good in a mixed drink
National soda of Texas? A Mexican carbonated water?
Thanks for this :) now i need to order a brass pen
Topo Chico FTW!!!!!
I was telling Taylor how I've hooked you, Ripp, Nick, and a few other buddies on it. It's SOOOO good! #Iinventedit

I have a Native in Maxamet. Just added mustard design to patina the damn thing. Will send pickie....
I can smell this video.

How did you age the zippo?
you can buffer with a Dremel
Very true though the average joe may not have one nor want to invest in one. Great option if you have one for sure!

Somewhere there is a Pawn Star with a single tear running down their cheek.....
