Hello - yes the salt/vinegar solution works brilliantly on bronze as well as brass :) thelistedhome.co.uk/want-to-learn-how-to-age-bronze-quickly-with-no-harsh-chemicals/

No - it's more the fumes from the liquid (than the actual liquid mix) that causes the metal to oxidise :)

That's very exciting!!! Good luck with it 🙂

@@thelistedhome thanks :) It turned green (like slightly aged copper) and mottled pink. The ferrule came from a store known for its quality, and I removed all the lacquer on it with fine sandpaper prior to leaving in the solution. Cleaned it with acetone to remove grease too. Also tried with (I believe chlorinated) bleach for an hour upon suggestion from another commenter. Worked, but not very well. Back in the salt/vinegar solution. I found that the fumes are more important than the liquid, and I got the quickest effect when the closed jar was tilted with the piece on the "dry" side.

@@LitoGeorge Yes! The fumes are definitely more effective than the solution itself. Some of mine went very salmon coloured initially. I persevered and in some cases got an almost verdigris finish. The ones that I didn't like the finish on, I used Brasso to clean the surface and bring the shone back - then just started again and repeated the process. Some of my handles worked perfectly, first time round. Others took a couple of goes to get right. I've not had a fail yet! Great to hear that you had success in the end! :) thelistedhome.co.uk/how-to-age-brass-and-bronze-with-vinegar-and-salt/

@@thelistedhome thank you very much. Read the article, liked it ☺️ I have found that I can remove lacquered brass coatings by boiling the vinegar in a pot with a lid, no salt required, and it will come off by itself. I have left it in the solution and reboiled several days over 4-5 days, and find extraordinary rust build up on the items (hinges and drawer pulls) and a simple rinse in come water took all that of, revealing the brass underneath in an aged way. I also have the verdigris look on other brass items because I'm told that the copper in brass has started to disintegrate from the acid. All good. TX for the online camaraderie 👍

Thanks so much Luna!

Thank you!

Hi April - it's over the other side of the kitchen.

@Caro Davies may be stupid but how did you plumb it in. I'm buying this fridge freezer and I'm soclost on it x

Hi Martin - yes - you need to connect the fridge to a water supply in order to get water and ice :)

@@thelistedhome Yes I’ve set it all up and water is working but I take it you need to wait for a while for the ice to work?

@@martinbeach1161 Hi - yes - I think ours took a couple of days until the ice compartment was totally full. You'll hear the fridge making really odd noises as the ice is being created and falls into the holder! Gave me the shock of my life! But once it's full, and you use it up, it will just keep replenishing itself.

@@thelistedhome Fantastic thank you for your reply’s Will be in touch if I need you hahaha x

@@thelistedhome You don’t need to do anything else do you in order to create the ice?

Yes - there is.

@@thelistedhome thanks I have found my new fridge :)

@@Wieczor178 Ours is still going strong! We love it :)

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing! x

Hello! I'm still using the same one - it's still working really well :)

That's great!

@@thelistedhome 😃

Hahaha!! Thanks so much Andy :) This really made me smile!!

@@thelistedhome Glad it made you smile. My days work is complete now :-)

It’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL 🤩 Still one of my favourites. The illustrations are really beautiful ☺️

May I ask how your shed is now that some time has passed (I am thinking of doing the same thing)?

Hi Gaz, we replaced the flooring with laminate - which was the biggest change in terms of weight. As this is fairly standard practice, we didn't consider it to be a problem. The only other changes were cosmetic - just wallpaper and paint - so there was very little extra weight gain. You can see everything we did over on the website - www.thetwinklediaries.co.uk/category/caravan-love/caravan-tips/

watch from 0:46 - it tells you the measurements we used, although you could change this and make them as big or small as you like.

Lica K hi there - yes! It’s definitely possible but it takes much longer - especially if you have long or thick hair :) my hair is really thick so takes ages - which is why I blast it with a hairdryer first. But it’s definitely possible 😊

@@thelistedhome great, thank you so much. So, it has been 2 years since you made this video. Are you still using and satisfied with this Babyliss?!

@@licak1660 Yep! Still using it! Although my hair is much longer now :)

@@thelistedhome thank you so much, dear. I will get one for me then! 😘
