Members whinewine Posted January 7, 2009 Members Report Posted January 7, 2009 This is a cool idea. Thanks.Will this satiny finish be permanent, or will the brass tarnish just as quickly as brass that has not been tumbled? The Nevr-Dull is still necessary for cleaning up brass hardware that has already been stitched or riveted to leather items. ed Ed, brass being brass, it will tarnish again, over time. A dip in lacquer or a light spray will probably hold off on darkening for a while. I would tell the buyer that this is solid brass & will tarnish, so use either brasso or Never Dull when it starts to turn. russ Quote
