How do I "prime" an atty and why?

Whoa there, sounds like freebasing!

Coca-cola is a commonly known acid/abrasion for cleaning and polishing metal.

Is priming necessary for models such as the Sidesho, where it comes with pre-filled carts? If I pop on a new cart, which is full with liquid, isn't that inadvertently priming the atty anyway? It's getting liquid on it, which is the point right? I don't see why I would need to prime it if it's getting liquid on it from the cart.

Yeah, $20 on coke to clean a $5 atty - and no "high," to boot.

Just seeing if people read these ;->

Where the hell are you finding $5 attys???
