I can't be the only one that binge watches these things just to see if I learn some new trick.

I use mole grips and a wire wheel. I works really well. It starts of slowly and then the bolt flies off into the empire of dirt and I spend an hour on my hands and knees looking for it. I then find the bolt I lost last week and complete last weeks job.

Lots of good tips here. Sandblasting does create a great finish for zinc primer. The Zinc182 seems to be good and if you can keep the fasterners clean, Zinc182 takes a topcoat very well, too. Need to check out plating, but it does seem a lot of work. On a resto project I have, lots of labelled zip-lock bags with various fasteners need various treatment. For batch processig speed and ensuring the fasteners go back in the same bags, and then back in the correct assemblies, is crucial. I think I have the same cabinet as you show here. I moddied mine with the "Parts Washer Upgrade Kit" kit. That's a company and a YT channel (maybe they were once a one-trick pony?). Have you a vid with the mods you mentioned? btw Zinc182 is not Blink 182 if you're referenceing bands etc. Also Happy Birthday PW if he's watching, or if he's not.

Genius idea(s) Mike. I call them Spire Clips but same difference. I cleaned a load of nuts and bolts in cheap apple cider vinegar, they came out nice but it did take ages.

@BritannicaRestorations Ай бұрын

I think they are called 'Extruded U-Nut' and are now used in the Defender door pillars for the hinges!

Clip nuts, genius! see these all the time in aviation, never thought of them in this useful capacity!

Worth reusing the old bolts on a defender if it’s old as they are good quality steel. Bit of a clean up and some kurust or equivalent and they are good to go again.

@kinnellian Ай бұрын

I do need to find a small blaster, and sonewhere to put it. In the meantime, I'll just do them one at a time on the bench wheel, and watch as the odd one flies out my fingers across the shed, never to be seen again.

@BritannicaRestorations Ай бұрын

This is not uncommon!

@williampridgeon8707 Ай бұрын

I wirebrushed nuts and bolts and wrecked my lungs breathing in the contaminated air Then I learned about 4:1 molasses solution Remove after 2-3 days Waterblast Put them in again it they still need more Take them out, waterblast, dry under heat, then paint or seal with penetrol or inox immediately to prevent the rapid oxidation Easy as….

Nice tip. Thanks for sharing. I’ve used that zinc paint on my fence. It works great.

@BritannicaRestorations Ай бұрын

Good stuff!

@BrianM0OAB Ай бұрын

Nice idea, I'll have to carry on using the bench wire wheel and taking the skin off my fingers every now n then, don't have a sand blaster cabinet, I got some Flow rust remover fluid ( Phosphate free ) it's good stuff if you leave rusty things to soak overnight.

@BritannicaRestorations Ай бұрын

Yes, we have all 'dodged the bullet' of flying bolts!

@justjames8383 Ай бұрын

If I have a bunch of rusty bolts I throw them in a container of white vinegar over night.works good on parts also Wipe them off the next day with a cloth and done.

Does not work on 30 year old rusted parts believe me..

@justjames8383 Ай бұрын

@@BritannicaRestorations no I wouldn't think 30 yrs of rust but a couple years has worked for me. I'm about 100 meters from the ocean and bare metal here starts to rust after 2 days during the summer even lol

You mentioned your parts washer .... What degreaser do you use / like ?

@BritannicaRestorations Ай бұрын

75% diesel and 25% petrol - bit smelly but as there is a lot of mucky oil and grease to remove on jobs it gets contaminated real quick

Cheap brick acid drop them in and leave for a hour come out brand new.

@BritannicaRestorations Ай бұрын

The problem with Muriatic acid is it is not nice stuff! The fumes are not good to breathe in, and you must wear suitable gloves You must neutralize the acid, or it will keep working. Use baking soda and water. Not recommended
