Great job on the brass zippo! I’m a big fan of the brass zippos. Very recently I dunked a black matte zippo into some acetone for 18 hours 😮 took a while removing the black coating though…. Wasn’t difficult just time consuming. The brass finish looked slightly tumbled which I thought looked good. However lol I did decide to give it a polish up and it actually looks damn good. Love brass zippos!

Just getting back into collecting Zippos and im diving in head first. Already etched the logo and stripped the paint from a matte finished can bottom to get a mirror finished brass. Im totally jealous of your collection but eager to gow my own. Thanks for all the amazing videos and tips/tricks. Ill be binging the rest of your vids to soak up all the necessary knowledge.

I got model 29884 as my first Zippo, a tiger engraved high polish brass lighter. After less than a months of frequent use it's already starting to tarnish and is loaded with finger prints. I want to know for someone who doesn't have a buffing wheel is there any way to maybe spay and wipe the insert or a liquid I can let it sit in to get similar results?

Hey man I come from a country where the brand of the compound you're using is not exist here. Can you please tell me what is the colour of the compound that you used on your zippo brass? The first one before the green compound. That would be amazing if you can tell me or just recommend me the non-USA-friendly compund brand. Thanks man.

Hey man, been watching your videos for a few days now and am loving them. I found my old Zippo from 2002 (just a simple brushed chrome model) last week after randomly seeing a post about Zippos on Reddit and caught the bug. I can't believe I never thought about doing customs before, when I bought that Zippo in 2002 I was working for a buckle company, casting, antiquing, enamelling etc.. seeing this video and the buffer just sparked my memory, was my first decent job. Sadly they moved to the other side of the country and I no longer have access to all the equipment, but just ordered a brushed brass 1941 replica and some brass British military cap badges (S.A.S & Intelligence Corps) from the same era to play about with. Have you put any badges/plates on a Zippo? I'm wondering if I should use glue or solder to attach them? I saw one guy using some T-7000 glue on another channel.
