Amazing! You have a new subscriber! I have a metal front door that is over 100 years old and plan on trying this. Any notes on how to keep it looking great over time? Can it be clear coated without yellowing once you have done this?

Beautiful! Would I be able to recreate these results on a stainless steel file cabinet?

Hi, thanks a lot for video, I also watched the sanding with hand, it was quite helpful. I have to sand my zinc plates for etching and when I do that I sand with water and soap. It's quite hard to find 3000-5000 paper. (And I can't shop fram amazon, because some shops don't ship any product to Turkey ) Unfortunately I can't purchase "Alumnicut" too and I couldn't any similar products with that one. So do you have any advice? Can I use any lubricant for the sanding? Or keep sanding with water and soap? Thanks a lot!

I will definitely do copper sometime for you, but I think the next metal I will do will be bronze.

For how long does it keep the mirror-like finish?

@SkillsandTrade 5 жыл бұрын

For several months, even longer if you use wax.
