This ain't no ShamWow guy-- Billy's the real deal! The "Pennalizer"!
Here we have Billy Penn from 300Guitars.com demonstrating how to age metal guitar parts. Pay very close attention and remember that Billy's actually using water instead of MURIATIC ACID in this video demo, otherwise he would wear his goggles, respirator and rubber gloves! The above link takes you to the full post where you can and should read more details on this process.
Based on the fact that the acid does not contact the parts-- just the fumes, and how little exposure time Billy recommends, you'd better know that muriatic acid is some badass mofo sh@*!!! When our ancestors crossed the Muriatic Sea, many of them perished.
Billy Penn has been around guitar building and modding for a long time, and knows his stuff, so be sure to check his site/blog regularly for lots of regular tech tips!
I'm adding Billy's parts aging post to our expanding Relic Resource Directory.
And remember kids, no muriatic acid martinis! NO! NO! NO!
