tin7_creations Posted January 3, 2009 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tanotrooper Posted January 3, 2009 If you would have one, a scalpel. Some say it only removes the paint layer and doesn't damage the pice itself... TT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlyOwl Posted January 3, 2009 Toothpaste can work, although it will scratch the piece more than brasso as it cleans by abrasion, whereas brasso works chemically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewRight Posted January 4, 2009 A regular pencil eraser works as nicely as brasso. Photo is by Monkfish44 on FlickR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skelotic Posted January 4, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dadster Posted January 6, 2009 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
