Matt T Report post Posted April 10, 2014 I've been buying ancient bronze buckles from ebay, and using them for dog collars. They are expensive, but sure are unique! The problem I am finding is that they are often dirty and oxidized, and the rustoleum just flakes off in certain areas. Does anyone here know of a good way to clean the grime off of these things before painting? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sovran81 Report post Posted April 10, 2014 Have you tried a vibratory drum? Used a lot for cleaning empty brass. They can clean some very small crevices. Here is a cheap example http://www.harborfreight.com/5-lb-metal-vibrator-tumbler-67617.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
