Yes soldering on this is quite tricky, and I don't have a brazing kit, so I went with epoxy. It also keeps the old vintage look while making the oil can usable again.
I would have opted for brazing the holes and using body filler to smooth out the pitting on the bottom. The epoxy is a good work around though although I don't know how strong the structure of the can bottom is at this point since it was compromised.
That wesco oil can is very lucky to have it done by you for left any longer the rust would have ate it for dinner as in pin holes would have been formed in the can
Something any tin man would be proud to own, especially if he doesn't have the good sense to stay out of the rain and wait for a house to fall and save him!

I was actually surprised that you powder coated it before applying the epoxy. I would have thought you would have done the epoxy and than powder coated it to give a better seal in the bottom. Thumbs Up
That was a rather quick restoration, but more of a refurbish than anything? I'm not giving too much criticism, but the holes on the bottom could've been either brazed, or welded and sanded down smooth. Oh well, if this is coming from a simple man's perspective, then the epoxy trick will work. Not sure how it would hold up in the future. My grandfather would've probably done something like that, since he was a cheap-o when it came to repairs like that lol
@@christophermarshall5765 yes it can be done, but I am no welder, I can barely weld mma and I dont have the other equipment. I merely used what I had and did what my skillset allowed me to do.
I think it would have been cool to have used a toothpick to paint in the letters in the handle a gold or black color, but this came out nice. Great work!
This was a new color I'm trying out, This is a silver gloss with a pearl glitter accent, It look really great in person. The camera did not do the color justice. AND I did get a little bit of powder in the shop, but the vacuum made quick work of that haha
I agree everyone else you could have brazed the bottom but I much prefer to have original equipment not use plastic to replace original. I have a similar one with all original parts. And for the sceptic about the time it takes I clean all my parts up in about 45 minutes so 4 hours is not too short, and that is not primer its powder coating just in the color of gray simple not to flashy
it's comforting to see someone restore such a small 55-year-old piece, rather than toss it and buy something that won't last 5 years.
These holes in the bottom were much easier to solder with tin.
Great job, as always.
Good tip!
it was nice to see other than solder since I don't have a solder stuff....goo I can get! 🙂
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Morning!
Great job regardless of how you fixed it 👍the thing works and that all that matters. Turned out great
Thank you so much 🤗
Nicely done, great idea with the epoxy, especially for those who don't have a solder handy. 👌👍

Nice restore mate . Keep going. 👌
Thanks, will do!

Its more than strong enough haha its a oil can, not a car jack.
You did a wonderful job restoring it and it looks great again!!!
Enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you very much!
@@AJRestoration You're very welcome and looking forward to your next project!!
Hi AJ beautiful restoration good job well done
Thank you buddy!
Very nice, dude! 👍
Thanks! 👍
That wesco oil can is very lucky to have it done by you for left any longer the rust would have ate it for dinner as in pin holes would have been formed in the can
Abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷!!!
Very good❤️❤️🥰

I love your content. It's always relaxing and inspiring. 🥰🥰🥰

Nicely done ✅
The way the rust started to come off immediately though
Nice sharing
Well done.

The epoxy will break down at that temperature, compromising its structure.
Buen trabajo

I am not too good with brazing yed and welding would just make larger holes haha. This was the next best.
@@AJRestoration nothing wrong with that. Even soldering would've worked. But, I'm no expert on that. Great job regardless!
Nice job. I probably would have welded the holes up.
Weld on .7mm steel sheet without burning bigger holes? You must be a great welder?
@@AJRestoration I use oxy-acetylene, & filler rod. .7mm welding with a mig is very tricky, but can be done
@@christophermarshall5765 yes it can be done, but I am no welder, I can barely weld mma and I dont have the other equipment. I merely used what I had and did what my skillset allowed me to do.
the small holes could have been brazed too, but i really like the epoxy idea i didnt think of that and it was a great idea imo
Glad you liked it!
04:28 The moment when you find out you have any cuts on your hands
So true haha instant sting.
Ohh I got one of those my is Castrol oil can
I think it would have been cool to have used a toothpick to paint in the letters in the handle a gold or black color, but this came out nice. Great work!
I never thought of that.
I think the only thing I'd have done different was use a pressure pot to get the air bubbles out of the epoxy.
If I had a pressure pot that is what I also would have done.
I don't understand why you didn't remove the dent from the tank.
I leave some dents, it carries some of the history over.
Am I mistaken, or did you powder coat inside the shop? :)
My only complaint is the color (or lack of). I was hoping for your usual eye catching color.
This was a new color I'm trying out, This is a silver gloss with a pearl glitter accent, It look really great in person. The camera did not do the color justice. AND I did get a little bit of powder in the shop, but the vacuum made quick work of that haha
@@AJRestoration I'm just so used to the final product having a vibrant color. And I was just surprised that you coated inside without a spray booth. 🙂
where did you get the replacement pump?
If I remember correctly I salvaged one from a similar oil pump.
I agree everyone else you could have brazed the bottom but I much prefer to have original equipment not use plastic to replace original. I have a similar one with all original parts. And for the sceptic about the time it takes I clean all my parts up in about 45 minutes so 4 hours is not too short, and that is not primer its powder coating just in the color of gray simple not to flashy
Good but could be more better

Mooi AJ jy het die ou olie kamertjie gered pragtig
Baie baie dankie Tom!
I really would have ground down the bottom of the oil can and recreated the logo with a cnc machine instead of using epoxy resin to seal it up
Do you have a cnc? Because I dont hahaha
Nice but I think Ivwould have been inclined to put a highlighted different colour on the band at the top of the can. Just for aesthetics😊
Hoe vorder jou nuwe workshop?
Dinsdag gan hulle die nuwe workshop kom bou, so woensdag is hy klaar hopelik, so dan moet ek noeg als oor skuif en mooi maak.
Odd to powder coat first before repairing. And odd to powder coat without covering the interior or threads.

Potevi attapare i fori con lo stagno e poi stuccavi...veniva un lavoro migliore e antico 😉
Show!!!👏👏👏🇧🇷
👍👍👏👏👏👏🇧🇷
👍👍👍😎😎😎
I mean decent job but...you only primed it and done? And that bottom repair was horrible....
The oil can was not primed, it was powder coated ;-) Thank you for the comment though :-D
😁😇😁
It's so dirty dude
i dont believe this ,in 12 hours more clean than new ? bye bye
