Vinegar and brown paper poultice?
hmm i thought you rubbed it with soapTo make the birmabright more pliable you can paint it with some engine oil, and then heat it evenly/ gently with a blow torch until the oil has burnt off, which will make it soft and more pliable. Piece of plywood down the back, and bend/ hammer back to shape
I've only used the engine oil method myself, but soap works too according to google... It's mainly about making sure you don't over-heat it, with the oil. No idea what the soap is meant to do (not convinced by what I read on google)
Ordinary soap burns at the annealing point of most aluminium, including Birmingham bright - hence its use ..![]()
It's not Birmingham brite alloy it's Birmabrite. Soap melts at 140F alloy aneals at approx 750FOrdinary soap burns at the annealing point of most aluminium, including Birmingham bright - hence its use ..![]()
