Like this? Yes, with a wash and wax coating applied as I clean them.
They stay that way for a long time. They even seem easier to clean after I’ve got them the first time.
(I save orphaned brass from life on the streets.
)
After spotlessly cleaning the brass, put in the oven at 250 degrees for four hours. Artificial aging.
Or turn on the oven to make cookies, after forgetting some cases left in there to cool. When the oven dings that it’s pre-heated to 400, instantly remember the brass and burn my hands, I mean
your hands, pulling them out.
That ding? It’s to tell you that everything in the oven is
already at 400 degrees...
They will look like this.
But will be renewed again at the next cleaning cycle into perfect pieces of glinting gold!
(Two new cases for contrast.)
They will also be easier to lose. Resulting in one more expensive case added to the slew.
Oh, hey Babe. You new here?
