Default Sword Restoration

Taking off from the suggestion of VANDOO to restore my rusted gunong, i also did try restoring other swords. Here are the result. Please take note that this is just experimentation on my part and i just soaked it in vinegar then finished it with a metal polish. No sand papering.

Default Soak for how long?

Very nice. How long did you soak them in the vinegar? One bath, or multiple soak / wash / soak / wash cycles?

Thanks.

Dave

Soaked them overnight only then finish the rest of the rust by metal polish.

Default Another restoration job

Here are other restored swords particularly the rusted gunong posted before. Unfortunately, it seems the true state of the metal was also revealed.
