    i got a weird hack from Instagram, it said you can Clean the oxide off fresh cast Brass/ Bronze with pool flocculant in warm Water with little to no effort, I looked up pool flocculant it is Aluminum sulphate
    has anyone heard of, tried , have reason to think this will work ?

    Thanks in advance

    yes and no, heating it with a torch also takes off that fresh cast oxide with out removing any metal or peening i normally only blast (garnet) to hide repairs ,

    Barkeepers friend and a brush also work very well
