Howdy quarantine buddies!
I'm spending my at home time building a tele body from scratch which will be paired with a pair of bareknuckle mules with aged covers that I got a good deal on.
Seems like exposing chrome and/or nickel parts to muriatic acid vapors is the recipe most people in internet land like to use to age parts. I would normally never do this but I want it to look cohesive. Also easier to explain away any imperfections in the body and/or finish under the guise of "oh but it's aged". Reminds me of Pee Wee Herman saying "I meant to do that!"
so my question is......how do you age tuners? I'm worried the acid vapor treatment would just rust the internal workings?
Thanks friendos!
