Nothing to do at work? clean mod!

[Mailablemage]

Sundays at work are slow, we rarely see customers, so we mainly focus on store tech work and upkeep. My coworker and I finished all the back orders about 3 hours into an 8 hour shift. My Nemesis mod was getting pretty dirty and I haven't had a chance to clean the metal up in a few days, I also noticed the finish was getting very dull, nothing a bit of sand paper wont fix!

unfortunately I forgot to take a before picture, so sorry for lack of reference.

I started by using some 800 grit sand paper to remove the finish, then polished the mod with some 1200 grit for a smooth finish. the threads got cleaned, and every bit of oxidization was cleared off. going to finish it off with some 200 grit tomorrow and then give it a clear epoxy coat, but for now she is shiny and chuckin the vapes in style.

DON'T epoxy it! Brass and copper aren't that hard to keep clean, and any clear coating you put on it will just make things that much more difficult down the road: air WILL get under it, and start oxidizing it again

Better to pick up some form of polish, and just wipe it down every so often

I think I'm going to take a polishing cloth and some jewler's rouge to work.

Looks great for sandpaper, really impressive!

I fix up old road bikes and use all the way to 2000 grit sand paper on metal bits to make them shine. After the progressive sand paper I use metal polish on em and it makes a wonderful mirror finish. Looks good!
