@biondatiziana 2 года назад

Thanks for the helpful video. I've head of using ammonia this way, but never knew you could use vinegar. Vinegar would be preferable because the fumes aren't toxic and it doesn't break down like ammonia. One tip -- don't leave vinegar in a stainless steel pan between uses. Depending on the quality of the steel, the pan may develop pinprick holes and leak, even if the pan is never heated. Instead, store the vinegar in a glass jar.

Love your videos. FF up in KC, just started with leather to make our shift some straps. Keep up the great work, we talk about it around the table a lot!

@AndrewJordan23 4 года назад

@@SofieldLeather I've been purchasing stuff for our station & make the ping pong table a little work station late at night. We've been trying to figure out how to treat the leather. We're trying to do some stamps with paint inlay, but are concerned about treating the leather since some of it will be outside our gear. Right now I've got flebing satin sheen & the Tandy aussie leather treatment, but haven't put it to the heat test yet!

@SofieldLeather 4 года назад

Andrew Jordan nice. That Aussie stuff is good. I use to use it. Now I make my own stuff. Acrylic resolyn is the best for protection but I don’t like the way it makes the leather feel. It’s inevitable given the work we do. Paint will get ruined. But that looks cool too. 🤣👊🏼👊🏼

Hi Sofield Leather,.Lots of other people use salt too. Any recommendation on that?

@SofieldLeather 3 года назад

Yes you can sprinkle a little in there. Works well but really tears up the pot. Thank for watching

@shaneknox 8 месяцев назад

I was wondering whether you're willing to share your buckle source. I like the selection of Buckleguy, but just got off the phone with them and they said they put a lacquer on their brass which is impossible to remove! I'd like to be able to custom-age a buckle with this method.

@SofieldLeather 8 месяцев назад

Sure thing. Look up a video on my tips playlist called firefighter hardware. Should be links in description as well. Hope this helps 👍

Hey, thanks for the super cool tip! I was wondering, do you put anything else on the brass after antique-ing, to finish and protect it?

I throw some WD 40 on it after. Don’t know if that does anything, but it helps me sleep at night. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@iamgazz2756 4 года назад

Does it make a difference what metals your pots are made out of? I don't have a steamer pot. Will it still work if I use a colander over a pot with a lid on? (that's how I steam my veggies) Also, does it leave marks the metal of your pots?

@SofieldLeather 4 года назад

Don’t know about the material. I use a cheap pot from Walmart. They definitely will mark up and deteriorate. I already need a new one. Thanks for watching.

@briga1218 2 года назад

@miguelrecio7464 2 года назад

You have to search for a liquid solution for darkening/aging brass. There's a few options from Sculpt Nouveau or similar brands and you have to aply it with a brush and sanding smoothly with extra fine steelwhool (you may repeat the process untill you're satisfied with the patina). Finaly aply a proper wax for metal protection.

@jeanbraker6401 4 года назад

Do you have to have unlaquared brass to do it this way?

@SofieldLeather 4 года назад

I believe mine is lacquered as well. You can just dip them in boiling water first to melt that off. Then proceed. Hope this helps. 👊🏼

Question I have a piece of silver that's inlayed with brass. If I were to do this would it antique the silver in the same time?

@SofieldLeather 4 года назад

🤔🤔🤔. I’m not sure. Is it Nickel plated or is it brass?

@SofieldLeather 4 года назад

I’ve noticed that nickel plated does antique at the same rate.

@jeffreyjoseph1477 4 года назад

What's up!!! I've noticed you've used the pot in several videos but never noticed you toss in the Brass Rivets? is there a reason you're not antiquing the rivets? or am I missing something? Peace!!.....

@SofieldLeather 4 года назад

Good question. The reason is because once I snip off the post it’ll expose the clean brass. Doesn’t look right. Believe me I tried. 🤣👌🏼

@SofieldLeather 5 месяцев назад

I believe so. Tried it once but didn’t like the results. I only use solid brass.

@Thatsmessedupman 5 месяцев назад

@@SofieldLeather Thanks, I have an Italian military shirt that came with what looked like corroded buckles. There was brass underneath but a magnet sticks to it so I'm assuming it's plated and that was a antique coating that had some spots that corroded through to the base metal. Steel wool brought back most of the brass but the more I thought about it the more I think it was antiqued because the buttons have a half and half look. Not solid Brass look not fully antiqued.

@SofieldLeather 5 месяцев назад

Right on. When I antiqued the brass plated buckles, they came out more tarnished and blackish than antiqued. Didn’t look bad but not what I was looking for.
