I'm doing a refurbishing job on an 80 year old steam pond yacht at the moment. I'm half way through the repaint job which is going well. This has lots of variously shaped brass fittings with all the black oxidation from 80 years of exposure. I've given the bits a soak in citric acid solution to get rid of the worst, but this has left me with very coppery looking brass. Before I settle down to the Brasso and a lot of fiddly hard work, is there an easier way?
