I love the fact that this guy actually tries to save the liner...so many times, they're roughly pulled out and wrecked in the process. Well done!!

It had the original decal tho

@WW-2ube Год назад

Yes it was on rust, but after cleaning nothing was left. Otherwise, of course, it would have been preserved.

@@WW-2ube Well. Awesome restoration anyways! By the way, where do you buy WW2 stuff? And for how much dif you buy that helmet?

@WW-2ube Год назад

@@KingSquidWarthunder Well im from Poland. We have a lot of WW2 stuff here :) im collecting them from more than 30 years. I have my sorces :) You can buy the helmet for 30$, but you can pay also 3000$. It all depends on the condition. You can buy it on fb groups. Antics market. Auctions. There is many, many places :)

Hallo, can i ask you a question In other videos i saw that for restoration After the oxalic acid They use the wc cleaner Do you know why is it used?

@WW-2ube Год назад

Hi, wc cleaner has limescale and rust removal properties. That's why some people use it. I believe, however, that oxalic acid itself is strong enough to penetrate metal that it is enough. Too much chemistry can breach the safe barrier. You can also use phosphoric acid it is safer than oxalic acid but it can remove the original paint and the helmet is matte. You need to be careful.

@Macinatorecazzaro Год назад

Sorry for question, can i use some sandpaper instead of acid?

@0815Catgus 10 месяцев назад

@@Macinatorecazzarono, that's also going to destroy the paint. The acid is not that expensive

@ewanloades1973 Год назад

Can I use vinegar

@WW-2ube Год назад

vinegar is much more expensive and less effective. depends of vinegar type. 20 liters of vinegar, several hours, the smell is terrible :)

@0815Catgus 10 месяцев назад

Did you really leave it in there for 3h and then 2? Would be nice to know since im also going to work on a helmet.

@WW-2ube 10 месяцев назад

Yes, I did. Remember, after the acid you have to put it in baking soda

@0815Catgus 10 месяцев назад

@@WW-2ube ty, i did. Its a helmet from a river with a lot of Crusted mud on the inside, sadly its very hard to get out nearly impossible without damaging the helmet. So im just going to leave it as it is and seal it with candle wax.

@WW-2ube 10 месяцев назад

@@0815Catgus Remember, before waxing you must clean it from rust. If you don't do it, rust will progresing all the timeand finaly totaly destroy your helmet. In mud ther is no or less oxygen. That's why when you pick it you from wstęp or from mud it's start toget more rusty.

Is the tutorial also useful for a Panzerfaust?

@WW-2ube 10 месяцев назад

Not exactly. Panzerfaust pipe must be also repair from inside if it's damage.
