Great idea. Might as well grab some french fries while you wait on the ketchup to do its thing. Thanks for sharing that.

Great tip as always. Appreciate you taking the time to produce these videos. Seems like I always learn something new when you post. Thank you sir!

Thank you Bill... Appreciate you sharing with us.

What an excellent tip. Thanks.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Great video thankyou

Thanks

Thanks for the videos Saw you unclogging Generator video, gas stove rebuild and subbed. Then posted your link on a board, hope you don't mine. Keep up the great detailed videos.

What if I don’t have that patina I just want the scratches out ? I just got a new nickle plated 1911 and I want it to look like a mirror

It depends on how badly the plating is scratched. Coleman never made a Model 1911 so I don't know what model you're referring to. You might want to watch my full video on polishing a nickel lantern fount.

Loving the comments about "great tip", LOL!! And you criticize using metal polish, LOL. What a fraud. And btw, citric acid is not vinegar. And YES, I tried this on a section with absolutely ZERO improvement King Fraudman. Maybe I forgot to chant a mantra while waiting 15 minutes.

I've never criticised using metal polish. I use it all the time. In fact, I used it to make this Akon fount shine after giving it a citric acid bath for 20 minutes. Check out the link to the full video on polishing nickel founts and you can see the whole process. My point here is that doing some prep work with some kind of a mild acid makes it easier to polish, whether that's by hand or with a buffing wheel, and reduces the chances of burning through the nickel while trying to remove the crust of "patina". I never said that vinegar and citric acid are the same thing. I said that you can use either of them (or even something like ketchup in a pinch) to prepare nickel for polishing. Your milage may vary with these techniques, but I've done this many times with crusty founts (although this was the first with ketchup) and never failed to have good results.

RE: to Ken C. Why the attack, sir? To Bill:... A kind word turns away wrath. You make my hobby, of many years, so much more enjoyable. I'm still on the lookout for my pristine Anniversary Lantern- 3 49.

Wow! What a great tip. TY
