Try ketchup! Rub gently, but thoroughly, putting ketchup on a cloth. Then rinse with warm water. Voila! If that doesn’t work, you might need something a little stronger, in which case you should rub a half lemon with table salt. Rub the lemon and salt all over it, then buff out with a clean cloth. If that doesn’t do the trick, go up a notch and use ⅔ Cream of Tartar and 1/3 lemon juice. Apply a thick paste all over the brass and let it sit for 35 minutes. Rinse with warm water, then buff and dry with a clean cloth.

I have a big closed-book exam in science. I have to memorize, apply and analyze information. There are about 300 words and 100 concepts. I can't use anything other than my brain and a pencil.

You may have to make flash cards or ask the teacher for a study guide. If that is applicable, try to make a game on Kahoot. You may need an...

I have an apple butter kettle and would like to find out if this piece is brass or copper. Is there a test that I can perform that would let me know one way or the other?

Lightly strike it with the convex side of a tablespoon's heel. If it "thunks" more than it rings, it is copper; if it rings, it's brass.

I used the bleach method and rinsed over and over, but the water now has a bleachy taste. Will it be harmful or cause stomach upset? Anything else I can do to get it clean?

I would use a less harmful product like bromine tablets, but you will never get rid of the taste altogether.

Can I use anything else besides lemon oil?

Baby oil and olive oil are alternatives that work well. Vaseline is not recommended as it can damage the fretboard with constant use.

This two piece split bamboo fly rod has part of a label still in it. I can see the last three letters of a word gue, and another word of "harbor". There is a fish with green on the gill plate and red behind the figure and the handle is wood and the guides and ferrule are brass. What is this?

That's a saltwater boat rod, not a fly rod. It was produced by Montague and sold as the Stone Harbor model.

Is there anything else I can try to get the ink out?

You can try using a mix of baking soda and hot water. Scrub the paste into the stain in a circular motion using your fingers or a small bristle brush....

Instead of carrots hanging on a string, can I use cucumbers or anything else?

Any type of safe fruits or veggies should work fine, just keep in mind that softer and/or heavier foods will be harder to keep on a string.

This seems like a lot of work. Is there anything else I can do to give my cabinets a little love and breathe new life into them?

Yes! If painting seems like a ton of work for you (and to be fair, it is a lot of work), then just replace the doors. They usually get beat...

What is the difference between brass plating and real brass?

Brass plating is typically covered in a thin layer of real brass, which can erode the plating and reveal the metal underneath. Real brass is solid all the way through.

Can I really use ketchup to polish brass?

I know it sounds absolutely absurd, but yes, this will work. Just make sure that you're doing this with something that's actually made of brass, and not fake brass, or...
