Scalephantomphixer Posted March 7, 2004 Share Posted March 7, 2004 Second Paul. 10 minutes, that's it. I add some salt to the vinegar, and the brass comes out of the dip with a neatly shining surface. HTH, Pierre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grey Ghost 531 Posted March 9, 2004 Share Posted March 9, 2004 It makes the surface of the brass a little rough so the paint can grip it better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
