When buying the brass brush, you can use a magnet to test if it's brass, or just brass coated steel. With a strong enough magnet, you can easily test through plastic packaging before you buy.
Brass is not magnetic, but steel is magnetic (stainless steel can be non-magnetic, but if it has a coating, there's no need for it to be stainless). So if the magnet sticks, it's not full brass, just coated steel.
You're plating the metal. Not transferring the color, but literally melting the brass onto the steel (iron). It won't work on all metals, but iron takes brass well (they are compatible).
Does this last and is it rust resistant?
Blacksmiths have been brushing hot/warm iron with brass brushes to get this result for decades.

Really great demonstration... Will this brass color last long enough or it will fade over time?
Thank you for ths video, straight to the point, really helpful
Ok I gotta try this!
Thanks for this!
Awesome! Thanks!
Thats pretty cool...but how can we do it on an counter stools....any ideas or recomedations!!!?
GENIOUS!!!
EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!!
super helpful!
Really cool tip!!!
I'm doing this on 6 galvanized bolts, i removed the galvanization with hydrochloric acid/water-mixture, and stopped the acid with baking soda/water mixture again, after that i heated the bolts using a torch, some of them got a real brass look and others a more dull look, i used the same procedure and brush for all.. any idea what went wrong?
After the piece is coated with brass, can it be soldered with silver solder?
This is one of the coolest things I have seen. Does it ever rub off?
very nice tip. thank you
Awesome!
Assuming that since it is now a "plating", someone could (Gently) polish it back to a non-brushed, brass finish. Does anyone have experience/knowledge to confirm on shut this down?
This blows my mind. Im assuming it holds up over time? Any need to throw a clear coat over it?
It will develop a patina like brass does and the patina will then flake off... in a hundred years or so :) A patina develops slower with brass plating than with copper. A clear coat that prevents air and moisture contact should keep the original look - if it sticks to the brassing.
I recommend electroplating. Tons of videos on it. Theirs an art to it, that's for sure. This was faster but electroplating will give you a thicker and more even coat
Does it work to polish it to a shiny surface after?
I’m looking for a way to get this effect on a knife blade without messing with temper. Anyone have any tips?
Is there alternative way not using torch?
can you do this with aluminum?
i think the fresh metal amalgamates after the surface oxide layers are brushed away
For me this is Nobel Prize...!!
Do you clear coat after? Im doing a project with 22 gage sheet metal and round bar and most of it will be bare metal and I’m clear coating with 2k max . I want to try this on part of it but not sure about long term protection.
Did you ever try it?
Alot of reviews on those brass wheels you linked to, say they received brass coated steel wheels, which will NOT work!!
If you're not buying online, you can use a magnet to check if it's full brass or just brass-coated steel. Brass is non-magnetic, but steel is magnetic. So if the magnet sticks to the brush, it's just coated steel.
Stainless steel can be non-magnetic, but if the steel has a coating, there's no need for it to be stainless.
Would this work on knurled stainless steel -- changing to a satin brass finish?
I can verify it works. Pre-heating speeds up the process, but is not mandatory. Brassing knurled steel needs a wire brush made out of really thin brass bristles, ~0.2mm.
Do you think this would work on a stainless steel dishwasher door? Really appreciate it! Great video!
If you dismantle the metal first that could work. Just make sure it is thick enough and there are no plastic parts attached that could melt.
@j2flames, did you do it? If so, how did it turn out?
Can we Give Rusty Cycle iron parts Golden Look by dipping in chemical
Thanks for the tip man
No problem 👍 Glad I could help!
@@thesoutherncraftsmenWhat happened to this channel man?! You just drop 2 quality videos then go ghost? This channel had potential 💯
Did I just watch magic 😳
When you use heat on a penny with zinc it turns golden or brass. So its the same process your using heat and the brass is melting and covering the steel. 😇🙏 loved this video super cool and scientific. 😁👏💪💯
You are correct sir!
