How often do you have to reapply?tom_k/mo wrote:Not a problem Mike, as you can see, something like this has a lot of brass and german silver to keep from tarnishing, and the Nevr-Dull does an excellent job, even in the grooves of the engraved brass without harming the wood finish at all.
Mike, I don't. I only polish after shooting to remove the tarnish, and that's normally it. I've got one longrifle on my mantle over one of my fireplaces that's not been touched for at least 3 years, and still shiny. I'm sure if your surface was exposed to corrosives (water, sweat, etc...) on a normal basis, it would tarnish/oxidize but my Pennsylvania Longrifle's brass hasn't been touched in at least 3 years and it's still looking good. FYI, I normally wouldn't recommend actually keeping a rifle like that over a mantle, but I don't use the fireplace and there's no heat involved to dry the stock out (and it just looks cool).mickyd wrote:How often do you have to reapply?
