Today we wrap up the weathering of the little T-40 boat-tank. All that remained was the metal Friulmodel tracks, so in this video I weathered them using burnishing fluid -- a chemical solution that naturally darkens the tracks to a realistic finish.

There is no reason for me to promote a bad product, as then I would not enjoy using it, not like the result on my model, and not be proud of publicizing it in a video. There's also no point in me doing this to keep up relations with a company if the only benefit would be getting more of the same products that I didn't like. I have not used every product out there, but from what I have used, I keep using the products I like, and that's why I use them in my videos. You can use whatever other products you would like to and you can feel that they are better - that is your opinion, and is perfectly fine by me, thus I hope that feeling is reciprocated.

Everybody's favourite uncle -- Night Shift -- has also put up a great tutorial on weathering metal tracks today. His videos are the best of the best, so make sure you check it out too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6_ih23_-Gv0.html

I'm just now assembling my first set of Friulmodel Brand metal tracks! (received this week from Poland!)I wonder how they mold these with the trackpin holes drilled in there!!? This weathering video is just what I was looking for! NOW all I need is to find out where I can order these metal etching products... it seems no Hobby suppliers in the USA carrythese items I've had to order from MIG or AK. We shall see if there's any difference with this product. My go to Hobby Store I've gone to since the early 60's is also good at ordering things in the past. Thanks!

See if you can buy "Blacken-it" at your local art or craft store. It should work very similarly.

Why am I posting the same video today? 🤣 Also, burnishing ftw, even if you're gonna cover it all with mud, the burnishing fluid gives the track a nice micro-texture which serves as a good base for paints. It's almost like a self-etching primer. Also also, I think this T-40 is your best model so far!

I found that the key to using the burnishing fluid is getting the tracks CLEAN. Oils from your hands will nullify the effects of the fluid, leaving bare spots. Use gloves a good degreasing detergent and a toothbrush to thoroughly scrub the tracks. Rinse with water and let completely dry prior to applying the fluid. Once the tracks obtain the desired look it is a good idea to stop the chemical reaction. This prevents the fluid from eating through the wire track pins. A few minutes in a solution of water and baking soda will do the trick. Let dry and you're good to go. Hope this helps

Next time try weathering the links before you assemble the track runs. Then simply place the weathered links in a small sealed jar and gently shake it for 30 seconds or so. You’ll get almost Instant burnishing on the high points that can be adjusted simply by how long you choose to shake. Assemble the tracks with dark wire or touch each assembled pin with a fine brush dipped in burnishing liquid to darken them.

You can also try soaking metal in a sodium carbonate solution. I use Arm and Hammer brand "Super Washing Soda"; you can get a big box for cheap in a grocery store. I've used this method on brass and copper, and it creates a hard, permanent (?) black/dark brown layer. Not sure how it would work with white metals though. Also, you'd have to plan ahead, because it isn't a fast process- it'll take a few weeks of soaking. But, at least it is cheap and also non-toxic.

Okay... you convinced me (great review). I'm going to order this for my 1/16 RC Panther with metal tracks. Regardless of Night Shifts video, you did a great job. This video, and the one you did on the "R-Model" metal tracks were great. I was thinking to myself, "He should do reviews more often!" Too bad you don't have affiliate links to these products.

A very nice Tiger on the thumbnail brother, I see you glued the pe parts nicely onto the model. I've been having trouble with choosing a good super glue for pe parts, can you recommend one you usually use?
@Panzermeister36
@Panzermeister36 4 года назад
Hello! I use Gorilla Glue Gel Superglue with the blue cap. It's very strong but takes about 5-10 seconds to set, so you have the chance to adjust the parts a little bit eight aster you've put them on. Better than most CA I've used.

Another great video! Thanks! I could never understand why this stuff is called "Burnishing Fluid", though. I always thought it should be called "Tarnishing Fluid". To "burnish" something is to make it look shiny. To "tarnish" something is to make it look worn or stained through wear (i.e. oxidation). I think it all started with MIG Productions. It's a Spanish company, of course. Mig Jimenez's command of the English language wasn't that good, to start- I've read some of his older English-Language articles. It's gotten much better of course, but I don't put much trust in his company's use of the word "burnish"! :)
@Panzermeister36
@Panzermeister36 4 года назад
That is a good point. Tarnishing or oxidation fluid would be a better name...
@larryjenkins9638
@larryjenkins9638 4 года назад
I used to do some stained glass and we used a chemical to darken the lead or copper, to create a "patina" .... It might have been the same chemical.
@ratled1
@ratled1 4 года назад
Maybe cleaning the tracks with IPA or something similar before rusting. There may have been some oil on the tracks where you had to go back over it with a brush. Just a random thought
@Panzermeister36

Yeah I'm just trying to figure out how to make the lenses. They are like early T-34 lenses so they have a unique grid pattern to them so I can't just use clear PVA. I'll check out Elf.

If I’m not mistaken you’re in Canada? Where do you purchase your Wilder products? I’m in the Toronto area I contacted Wilder and they do not ship to Canada. Thanks for another great video!
@Panzermeister36
@Panzermeister36 4 года назад
Well I got this burnishing fluid sent to me by Wilder a few years ago. I did also buy some Wilder stuff, and the only Canadian distributor was Hornet Hobbies in Toronto. They've closed down so I'm not sure what to do now. I've picked up some AK products from my local shop here in Ottawa instead. Wheels and Wings Hobbies in Toronto has AK and Mig stuff I believe, which works the same way for the most part.

Also, I've used burnishing fluid on old cars and metal furniture. It SHOULD BE like thinner. You should be able to save it and reuse it SEVERAL TIMES 🤔
@Panzermeister36
@Panzermeister36 4 года назад
I'll try that next time. When I used the same fluid to burnish the second run of tracks it took a little more time, but it still worked OK. I'm not quite sure of the chemistry involved so it might very well be useable for a number of tracks, which would surely help with the cost of these products.

I never used any burnishing fluid myself, because i am quite satisfied with painting them, but this made me curious! Your result there is simply excellent. For lenses, you can either use some micro crystal clear, which might be not ideal for the big headlights there, your you cut your own lenses out of clear packing material, like the one Alpine uses for the figures. I always keep these boxes in reserve, in case i have to make my own lenses or windshield glass.
@Panzermeister36
@Panzermeister36 4 года назад
Thank you! For the lenses, well they have a grid pattern on them, so I didn't think I could use crystal clear or clear PVA. But if I use your idea of clear plastic, I could scribe the lines on the lenses before mounting them to the lights. That should be easier!
