    Default Cleaning up S&S Couplers

    What's a low tech way to clean up S&S couplers after brazing them in? Mine look like tarnished silverware right now. Remember, I'm asking for low tech.

    Thanks, Chuck Lathe

    Default We use ...

    a Scotchbrite type abrasive belt. The 3-M stuff is good, but it is expensive. We use stuff from ARC abrasives. Very low tech. Another option for a softer look is a Nylon brush wheel. Looks kind of like a wire wheel, but the bristles are made of nylon instead of steel wire. Good luck.
