Brendon_t Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Not in the sense of turning it Polish, more like turning it clean and Shiney After a few dozen install and removals on a set of brusso hinges, they are looking pretty dull and lack luster. Any tips, tricks, of ways to bring back that spark we lost all those years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortan D Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I use my Dremel for polishing small items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentEvil Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Not sure how much of these you have to do, or how ofter you will be doing it. As a ammo reloader, a great way to clean up and polish brass is with a tumbler and crushed walnut media. Harbor Freight has a small relatively cheap vibratory tumbler, I wanna say its less than $50. They also sell crushed walnut media. Throw the hinges in there with a capful of NuPolish and a dash of mineral spirits and let it go for a few hours. I've taken brass ammo casings that looked like they had been sitting out since WWII and they shined up like brand new almost. Of course, if its a one time thing then its not very cost effective.

Tom Cancelleri Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 When I polish up the frets on my guitars, I use a dremel with a hard cotton buffing tip (think compressed q-tip) with some polishing compound (don't worry, I cover the fretboard with blue tape so I don't damage it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmutt Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Squirt them with lighter fluid when done will stay polished longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
