I hit mine with several light coats of spray lacquer and let sit for about five days and then polish with EEE cream and buff.

Ah, sorry, I was talking about the antler, just seen the later posts about brass. Not sure if it would work there or not.

When I finish mine I mount it on the lathe and wet sand with 320, then follow with 600 grit automotive sand paper. Then polish with Brasso. The casing will patina again with wear, but I find most prefer it to a lacquer finish. You can include a jewelry polish cloth with each one you sell, if one prefers to keep the shine alive. I also sell .308 & 3006 kits on my web site. www.thevillageworkshop.net
