That came up remarkably well. The packed on dirt and grease kept the body from rusting. I’m glad I’m not the only one that uses mundane tasks such as sanding to calm me, and reflect on the day, and as for taking the “before” photo, I’m useless. 😂😂 Good job. You’ll get many more years of service from that oil can.
thanks man I appreciate that. I just wish it still had its original copper color. I'm glad you find mundane tasks relaxing as well.thanks for watching and for the comment.
I have an oil can just like that. Mine has a little bit of gold paint on it and I was wondering how I should restore it. I don’t know if I can find some paint that will match but I like the way yours turned out all nice and clean. Great job keep up the good work.
I have had no success trying to solder them, They seem to still leak afterwards.. But I have had success using the epoxy cups. If you send me an e mail I can show you the epoxy cups.
I bought a tiny oiler to fill with 3 in 1 oil to use on my workbench. It was black and nasty but atfer cleaning it has a beautiful copper finish on the cup but it has some rust. The spout is plain metal and sets nice against the copper cup. I'm trying to figure out how to keep the copper finish but i don't think I'm going to be able to save the copper. Either way, i only paid .25 cents for it at Jack Town and it's in really great shape.
@@Uwannawatch i actually decided to use gun bluing after i wire wheeled and fiber wheeled it. The copper was thin a spotty so i got rid of it. The gun bluing enhanced the pits and gave it the old school look i like
