1) Take old rusty flange screws, put in jar with
muriatic acid ( available at hardware and paint stores
) until rust is visibly removed. ( About 3 minutes. )
WEAR GOGGLES, MASK AND GLOVES !!!!!!!
2) Rinse THOROUGHLY !!!!!!!
3) Polish heads with Mibro (TM) "Mirror Finish" polish
on buffing wheel. ( Just a few seconds each. )
4) Put in another jar, with lacquer thinner, for about
a day. ( To dissolve any Mibro residue. )
Strain, dry, put on rack and lacquer.
I got a truly "mirror finish" set of screws this way,
far, far easier than with any other method I've tried
! But do have one question:
The main possible flaw in this procedure might be
that not all of the acid is removed/neutralized before
the lacquering, simply by rinsing. What might be used
to do this, easily ????? Baking soda ??? Something
else ???
Peace,
G
