Tinning belt plates

[brennivs - tony drake]

Here it is not much too it  
   
This is the paste I use is from Frost restoration.

   
You only need a small torch one just runs of lighter butane the other from a standard butane cartridge,  I will just use the small torch.

   
   
Just clean the metal with wire wool and I found a small paint brush is good to put on the paste don't over load with paste as You don't want it too thick. You can always apply more if need be.

   
   
I have only painted so much, then gentley heat until you see the tinning flow and move down the piece until finished, it will leave a dry looking surface that the flux will just wash off.

   
This is what you are left with a quick rub with fine wire wool will bring the shine up. Now if you heat the piece up and there is too much tinning you can use fibre glass insulation to remove the access, while still hot, just rub it along the molten tininng.
I hope you can follow this as I said quite straight forward. Hope this is of help and what you were after

This is the finish you end up with, I use silver polish to keep them shining and a soft cloth to buff with.
