Preserving

Boeshield T9 also works well for preserving. It;s a wax/solvent mix in an aerosol, solvent evaporates leaving the wax coating behind.

Works well, though it appears to have shrunk in the wash.

Here is one I did earlier!!! The item (for those interested) is a PU scope from a Mosin Nagant sniper rifle (found in an old soviet trench in Kurland) after nearly 70 years. The corrosion was deep and unpleasant. A photo shows it in the ‘bath’. After 48 hours, it looks good – all rust desolved – can see the fine threading for the optics and the knurling on the knobs. The as new version is shown in the final picture. Gives you some idea of how even the baddest looking item comes up nicely.

I have used BH products for a number of years now. It is possibly the best on the market.
I use mainly Deox C and Deox Gel along with their penetrating and anti rust FERROSOL , far better than most on the shelves, but you can only get it online.
Have also used the Etchweld and Electrox. great Tech help too.

make sure you get the powder, dissolve in warm water

Thanks,
Where can I get this Bilt Hamber DeOx from ta.

if it is rust (i.e. iron oxide…not aluminum oxide)…..put in a bath of Bilt-Hamber DeOx. After 24-48 hours, remove, wash, dry thoroughly (I sometimes even bake in oven!)….laquer top coat (Halfords do good one)
