bronze sail hanks - The WoodenBoat Forum
2014年6月4日 · Re: bronze sail hanks You could try vinegar. Buy the strongest vinegar you can find and let it soak overnight. The typical acid for bronze is hydrofluoric. It works instantly. Any acid will work on hanks. many times the spring is caput, corroded. It could be a bronze spring or a stainless one. See if you can take a hank apart.
Vinegar for Cleaning Bronze? - The WoodenBoat Forum
2011年10月21日 · Many will tell you that cleaning and polishing bronze is a fool's errand and I wouldn't disagree, but if you really want to clean it up, (and I don't get the sense that you are trying to preserve a 2000 year old bronze amphora or an original bust of Caligua) I will link to the absolutely most effective product for accomplishing that.
Bronze Prop Maintenance - The WoodenBoat Forum
2011年3月23日 · Re: Bronze Prop Maintenance Thanks for the replies. I guess what I'm really looking for is the best way to clean it up. 3M, wire brush, wire brush wheel or some other magical cleaner. My prop is on a 22ft sloop, powered by a single cylinder Yanmar. Max …
Cleaning Bronze with Vinegar?? - The WoodenBoat Forum
2011年3月25日 · I soaked a few small pieces of bronze hardware in white vinegar to clean off the patina...(an old block and a turnbuckle).

Cleaning Bronze - The WoodenBoat Forum
2008年12月8日 · Re: Cleaning Bronze To me one of the nicest elements of Silicon Bronze is the buttery golden color - and you lose that when you clean with an acid, leaving the part a harsh, coppery red.

Polishing bronze question - The WoodenBoat Forum
2015年6月2日 · But, I will mention that unless you want to be a slave to polishing brass, it is best left green.

A wonder polish for copper, brass & bronze. - The WoodenBoat …
2006年6月14日 · Unlike products such as Red Bear and Twinkle, Wright's Copper polish when used for brass or bronze, cuts through the corrosion but leaves a bright shine to the metal rather than the matt finish left by other acid containing cleaners. I was so impressed with Wrights Copper Polish that I bought a case of it last year and am very satisfied with it.
Is there a test for Silicon Bronze ? - The WoodenBoat Forum
2007年12月25日 · Re: Is there a test for Silicon Bronze ? PI Stazzer - I think the test works the other way. A few years ago I had heard that vinegar was the way to clean up SB fittings, and soaked some pieces for a day or so. They turned quite red, and folks on this forum said I'd done the wrong thing -- the acid leaches out the brass, leaving the red copper.
