Question regarding brass...say that I wanted to let mine naturally patina, and a long time from now decide I want the original look of the brass...can the patina be undone via scotch brite pads and renaissance wax? Or if I want to maintain its original glory does it need regular upkeep?

Sloth,
My brass is coming next week, I'm going for natural patina also, and I'm pretty sure patina can be easily removed and right back to natural shine. That's why most people put a clear coat or protection over their patina

I don't have my brass yet, but I do have a copper mech. I use never dull on it, and it knocks out any patina with very little effort.

i use brasso on my brass cc. just apply with a cloth and then rub it off. perfectly clean. only use scotch brite to remove scratches and such

 

[Sloth Tonight]

Thanks guys. Very excited for brass...sounds like all kinds of possibilities from patina and easy removal (one may not be enough...)

 

[custom-classic]

Easy removal, for sure. No worries.

You're just jealous. Admit it.

 

[custom-classic]

Welp,...all the parts are made, hand fit, mods tested, disassembled, and I'm 'bout to start the hand finishing...

Wish me luck!!!

 

[RGLP4Lyfe]

Yeah, my brass will be my precious for sure...

But... down the road, gonna need a copper CC!

 

[custom-classic]

We WILL make that happen, my friend!

This mod and AFC ring was nearly black from a year plus long patina 2 days ago.

All I used was brasso and a soft cotton t-shirt I no longer wear.

It's in the classies if anyone's interested.

6:30 am, quiet around here... surely I'm not the only one halfway through a cup of coffee and bottle of juice yet...

 

[pwheeler]

Good morning! Getting ready for my second cup of coffee and hitting on 4 mods .

 

[Sloth Tonight]

On to cup 2 myself...and 2 mods but the woody gets most my attention each morning

 

[pwheeler]

I guess I'll get my woody set up and use it at home. Been trying to sell it off for a good while now with no hits. No woody love out there. Problem is I'm just not home all that much. And my CC and either a Reo or a Peko travel with me to work each day. Always a CC, but trade off others and sometimes take 3 mods to work.

 

[Sloth Tonight]

If I didn't live at work, I'd be in the same boat. I'm lucky in many ways that my "only-at-home-mod" is also my "at-work-mod." I've never taken it out of the camp...though sometimes I'd love to have it hiking with me, and often wonder why I'm so picky (to be honest I've never so much as dropped a mod while hiking, ever) - but, it stays home for now. When I get CC, that'll be my backpacking/hiking mod, a REO may tag along as unnecessary backup though.

How is it that I never have dropped or scratched a mod while hiking, yet I drop a mod almost every day at home

 

[pwheeler]

The only place I've dropped a mod is right here at home also. I've knocked them over when out, but never a real fall. And at home, my floors are laminate over wood floors, except the kitchen which it tile. I've dropped a couple onto my wood floors, but nothing serious.

Mine go through Hates in a hand basket.

Though I expect my CC to endure as did my Copper pictured above.
