Thanks for the video, I always enjoy seeing the process instead of just reading instructions. I don't know if I will ever do it but knowing how might be useful later 😃😃
It’s kind of a fun process too. I’ve done it to a couple of flashlights and smaller gear just to add some flair to them, but it’s cool to just do it and see how it turns out. 😅
Really cool process and outcome. Greatly appreciate your nuanced instructions too. Question: would the choice of sea salt vs straight NaCl affect the results?
Patina has held up just fine. Looks the same as the day is hot the video! Both clear coat and raw patina hold up well. Clear coating something your going to handle a lot will keep it looking like my flashlight does even after carrying.
Do you sand your first clear coat? And then reapply? That's the method I've been using. I'm pretty happy with it but I'm curious if there is other ways people do it
@FloridaBoyEDC would you do this on a copper plated zippo? I have a zorro 912s lighter on the way, it's a very thick and heavy zippo style lighter (210 grams) of solid brass, I was gonna copper plate it and do this on it but would love a video before I attempt it myself and mess it up as I have no prior experience at all lol
I'm going to do this to everything I have that is copper. Yes sir
😂😂😂😂 Right?!?!?

@@FloridaBoyEDC The O light is pretty tempting 😄

Is it possible to bring a piece back to clean copper once the shipwreck process is done?
How is the patina now? Update?

Spraying the item with salty water before you cover it works better.
Was not expecting the ketchup, never in my years heard of that. WUT 🤢
