Narrated: Antique Sulfuric Acid Milk Fat Tester [Restoration]

Kris Douglas

If you're committing to Evaporust, you're basically committing to repainting it. best to paint strip/ Nitromors it and start fresh.

Jonathan Keeling

Thanks for being such an interesting fellow :)

I love Evaporust as much as the next tool junkie but it ruined the paint on my 1940s Record woodworking vise. It turned it from a deep blue to a chalky powdery blue. Have you ever had this issue?

What do you do with the Babcock bottle full of water and fat and sulfuric acid after you are done testing? If it were me I would either move to a new home or put it somewhere out of the way while I contemplated for several months until someone accidentally brushes it and it shatters on the basement floor

Simple to use for anyone on a farm..with hugely fragile glass and concentrated sulphuric acid. Can’t go wrong with more shiny brass.

Still intact.... Oh Gawd.. did anyone else laugh !!! good times

God this video was great!

I’d slap that brass everyday!

Excellent. Zen achieved

That is a lovely blue! I'm guessing we can't get your fancy Canadian paints down here in California, but in case we can, could you share what particular paint ended up being such a close match?

That was sketchy, man. It had me nervous 😁 good job 👏

very cool

Terrifying. Was screaming at the screen "Eric - put the cap ON!" Thanks for the heart-starter, mate.

Brian Myers

A what!? Oh, and you get burned? It's popcorn time!

Marc McKenzie

Eric, you definitely win the summer school science fair, but I think your talent singing seductive jazz is equally promising. You can read about it in the upcoming issue of “Brass Life!”

Great project and well done. It takes me back to when I worked in the dairy lab nearly 50 years ago. We used those Babcock flasks. The cheese fat test was extra special. Such a wonderful bouquet wafting through the lab as the acid denatured the protein in the cheese. Everyone would suddenly go for coffee break when I ran that test. And oh the aroma of a 'hot tank' of milk straight from the truck that took too long to get to the dairy.

I often sit and admire your complete lack of OH&S. Every month I think ohh still got 10 fingers! Yea! Go HTR!

Scott Hampshire

And to think we've been bamboozled to believe you're only working on the ground smashy smash. This pleases me.

david moxon

Such a sexy title. I always wait till late in the evening to watch, uninterrupted. This is very important. It is only then, through your wizardry, I can achieve my moment of zen. Thank you for that.
