Thanks 👍 Earl. I keep doing these. Honestly, I wish I was able to just do restoration work, but there are less dramatic repairs that must be done too. Like gigs I guess.

I love it! I was thinking on trying to give my trombone that same type of finish, but I'm afraid that because of the climate conditions from my country (which is very humid) may affect this finish on the horn and generate some kind of black patches on it. What would you recommend to me? Should I go with a satin finish instead? I have a Bach 42 modified with a Hagmann valve and reversed tunning slide.

The finish coice is p to you. Lacquering it, however, is a bit of an issue if really humid. It may hold moisture and be cloudy looking. Black patches are typically caused by impurities left on the metal or improper decreasing. Get a hold Of an old beat up bell or cheap horn and try it first. Try spraying the finish during dry season. Like in Thailand, I wouldn't be Lacquering in June thru Oct. I know. I lived there. Even worse in the Southern part.

That is cotton oil lamp wicking. I applied greaseless buffing compound to it...220 grit. After it dries in a few minutes, you can use it. Reapply often as needed.
