Very Rusty WW2 German Helmet Restoration and Preservation

Ойын-сауық

Very rusty WW2 German helmet restoration. I found this rusty German helmet on a WWII battlefield. I decided to restore this rusty helmet. This is an M40 helmet, model of 1940. I used oxalic acid to clean the helmet. I removed the rust and preserved the helmet. I hope you liked my restoration.

    love your work, but as a restoration video fan, let me give you an advice. NEVER start the video with "finding" something "buried" in the mud. Or an overly muddy object on the bench. It makes it look fake and aged artificially. I'm not saying your works are faked, but many of us click right out when we see an opening like that. You are doing a good job.

    I have some advice for you, if you are struggling to get the helmet out it's not because it's stuck in the ground, Its because a skeleton is underneath the helmet most times

    I've been cleaning and preserving a number of German helmets in the last eighteen months or so, and I must say I've picked up a tip or two watching this video. However I gotta say it, on the brief glimpses of the decal during the Oxalic acid process it looked quite sharp and retained much detail until you rubbed it at 5.34 onwards, afterwards the decal became duller and less distinct.

    Thank you! Yes, the black paint was unstable. I lost some of the black paint. I have also cleaned many helmets and the condition of the paint and decals depends a lot on the environment the helmet has been in. Therefore, it is necessary to control the process.

Звернув свою увагу ви майже скрізь використовуєте соду хоча вона занадто я б сказав слабка для зняття твердих окислів іржі , чи використовували ви хоч раз рідкий розчин солі через електроліз в своїх реставраціях? Як на мене сіль більш міцніша в роботі і краще працює спробуйте можливо вам сподобається , різницю видно відразу .Як варіант також замочування предметів на певний термін в розчин відпрацьованого мастила або чистого яке знайдеться ,теж гарно видаляє глибокі сліди ржавіння металу з періодичним зняттям бруду результат також цікавий виходить.Дякую за цікаві відео, бажаю успіхів .
