Many thanks for the most interesting video DD. I tried a very similar product on a George111 2d Cartwheel coin. Wow! What a transformation it was! All the best, cheers, John.
Nice video again mate. Have looked on the site of arteseal and what might be useful to know or mention is that when people outside the uk if they order the product,is shipped as a self-manufacturing kit because otherwise it may not be shipped.But otherwise a nice and good explanation in the video. Greetings ferdinand
It’s great on artefacts to make them stand out, It’s terrible on coins imo, it’s too fake looking for a coin It would be better if it came with a product to clean the brush afterwards
To be honest, the 10% is a little high for coins etc, but that's the lowest I had to hand. You can get it in as low as 3% which would have a lot less shine and be perfect for coins 👍
Should the coin be completely clear of dirt before adding paraloid? I have a few bronze coins with a bit of corrosion and dirt still stuck on dificult to reach places. Could I just coat it with paraloid like this? If not, how can I safely remove the corrosion and dirt without affecting the patina? I would love to hear your (Dan and all who reads this) opinions and idea's!
I would suggest going to Cleaningpencil.com and getting one of their composite Cleaning Pencil kits. That paired with Arteseal is all you need for Cleaning. Check out my video for Cleaning coins with the pencils 👍 th-cam.com/video/KU3ZpuFg9d4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6zfmHSYjqdasoRCY
Another great vid Dan, I will say always try and remove any access off the brush before applying and build up the finish in layers. You'll use far less product and get even better results. I worked as a specialist decorator and restorer for a while and the same technique applys to artwork and furniture alike 👍
very intersting! I enjoyed reading your reply that lower percentages are available, for a more natural look. I was wondering about conservation and your video is very illustrative. I am also curious about cleaning - I suppose different metals might require different care? not sure if you already have a video on that. thank you!
Have a look at this video I did a while back, where I clean a roman coin with the Composite Cleaning Pencil 😊👍 th-cam.com/video/KU3ZpuFg9d4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MxzyasqscfZJ8djd
I'm thinking of getting the 3% for coins as I think it might not give so much of a shine on the smoother surfaces. Not had chance to try it yet though 😊
Does it say that it can't be shipped to Australia? Because overseas sales are OK, but it is sent as a self mix kit so that there are no chemicals being sent 👍

It’s not a cheap product, so by adding brush cleaner to the product pack you will push even higher
😊what a difference. Will get me some me of that. Cheers.
also using it and its amazing and simple at the same time

Been using it myself for a while and its brilliant especially on bronze and crotal bell's 👏👏👏
Brilliant cheers Dan. What do you wash your brush out with.
No problem mate, you can just clean the brush off in a little acetone 👍
Just bought some Dan after seeing our video, have you had chance yet to try the lower percentage on coins or you sticking with the 10%?

@DiggerDanMetalDetecting I will give it a whirl once I'm home from work in a few weeks, wasn't a fax of the wax like you mentioned
@chrissumner325 you will love it 👌. Its so easy to use, and if you're not happy and want to try again, you can just remove it with acetone 👍
I can’t buy it in Australia but it would be great stuff
Does it say that it can't be shipped to Australia? Because overseas sales are OK, but it is sent as a self mix kit so that there are no chemicals being sent 👍
@@DiggerDanMetalDetecting it says they won’t ship here
@brunfree that's a shame mate, my apologies
Bought my set on your first recommendation, brilliant stuff.
