an alternative to brasso?

Recommended Posts

I'm actually snowed in right now, and I ran out of brasso and can't really go out and buy it. I was wondering what other alternatives there are. I've used an eraser, and don't really envy repeating the experience. Are there any other alternatives besides an eraser?

Thanks

If you would have one, a scalpel. Some say it only removes the paint layer and doesn't damage the pice itself...

Toothpaste can work, although it will scratch the piece more than brasso as it cleans by abrasion, whereas brasso works chemically.

I use a stanley knife. (Use a brand new blade) Works really well for me and it takes no time at all.

haha, I'm not inclined to put my life in danger for a $5 can of brasso.

A regular pencil eraser works as nicely as brasso.

I forget what the ingredient is but it is in nail polish remover (which I use) and in the unsuggested but still works super glue.

You mean acetone?

I use Brasso, but now I think I'll also keep an eraser handy. Lot less messy...
