Paul Carmody Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I was hasty on my evaluation on Brasso.I was buffing another fan blade by hand with Mothers, it was really shining the blade but no matter how I scrubbed it was not taking out the corrosion on the blade tips and small spots.I knew the Brasso has a lot of ammonia and whatever else.It quickly removed the corrosion.It’s not that great on shine but it’s a good starting point for the Mothers.

I will send a few sets of(3)no charge if someone needs a set.let me know. Paul- can you send me a PM? I'd like to request a few sets of these split brads for a few projects I'm starting on. My account is too new to send PMs yet. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
