Old brass Cup Restoration - Mirror Polish Finish

#Restoration #Mirror Polish
This is an old brass cup with serious rust. I tried repairing and polishing it, and the result made me very satisfied.

A group punishment in basic training was to polish a fired scorched tank shell before morning the next day. As we only had the supplies available we used steel wool and scouring powder finished with Brasso. Mirror finish but then we had 30 people working on it in shifts. Our NCO was impressed.

I just take it to the buffing wheel on my bench grinder. Use the solid stick compound and polish. Comes out like a mirror finish.

Looks like a tea or sake cup, it’s so small. The lip at the top makes me think it used to have a lid. Very cool restoration!

Thanks for sharing! You have a lot of patience.

I just done it, easy 2500 sand and then car polish and got glossy shine.

Seems like a lot of time and effort I'm exhausted just watching it

Never heard of diamond paste, seems useful

The baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) just neutralizes the acid. The bubbles (regardless of their cinematic effect) do absolutely nothing to remove the oxide. Those bubbles are just CO2 that is produced when the baking soda neutralizes the acid.

I do metal restoration you really don't have to do all these steps....I would use Acetone first to clean it to break down all that grease and extra build up, mix the oxalic Acid with liquid soap scrub it then polish it

Great video - how long did you keep the work piece immersed in oxalic acid and baking soda mix ?

What is the make of the machine used @6:12 if you don't mind me asking? It sounds very pleasant.

I’m wondering how much mass was lost in the process. I saw you weigh in the beginning but not the end.

And after spending $35 on diamond paste he was able to successfully sell the cup on EBay for $3.

Coming soon next new video will continue polishing up to 380, 000 grit!

This is the finish I'd like to restore my kitchen cabinet doorknobs back to, but there's no way I can go through all these steps for each doorknob/door pull. I have Brasso, and I have barkeeper's friend (which has oxalic acid). I can clean them with that. Can I skip the other steps and just get the diamond paste 20, 000 and use the polishing tool? If so, I need to know what the final polishing tool was that you used.

should of done the rim properly too though
