Summary for non-electrolytic brass coating Discussion
non-electrolytic brass coating problems are described by Mert KANDIRAL, who says his brass oxide and gun metal oxide parts still bleed after lacquering and drying, and can dirty linen or cloth on contact. He suspects the lacquer, but cannot find a better one. The thread excerpt provided does not include any replies or named advice, so the only clear takeaway is the problem statement itself: the finish is not adequately sealing the coated parts, and the staining issue persists despite lacquer application. No solution is shown in the source excerpt, so any fix would be speculative without the missing answers.
Q. Hello,
I have a question about brass coating. I make a coating of brass oxide and gun metal oxide with nonelectrolytic coating method. Despite lacquering and drying, after coating the brass parts are bleeding, and if parts touch linen or cloth, it makes them dirty. I think the problem is in my lacquer but I can’t find a better one. Do you have any advice for how I can fix this problem?
Thank you
