May I ask a question please. I'm not familiar with your burnishing fluid, I've only used one for lead, and that's oily. The one you use, can the brass take paint after the de-colourisation/coating effect?

Mick.
Hey Mick,
This is actually the first time Ive used this product, or metal parts for that matter. According to the manufacturer you just have to clean parts with warm soap and water, let dry and then paint them up. Eventually I will get to the painting portion.... :lolno:

Good morning, Burger!
Say Hello to Crazy Joe if you do fall overboard. His M36 TD was another build that caused sleepless nights. All the work and worry is worth it once the job is done and trundling around the back yard. Following along.
regards,
Painless
