    Default Cleaning the brass on the Colen Clentol square

    Guys,
    the brass on my CC square is made of rolled brass. I do store it with my GD square that measures all the other squares in a box that I made from scraps. My question is, what should I use to clean the rolled brass without damaging it? The normal brass cleaner is abrasive and would probably not be a good idea.
    Regards
    Les

    I don't bother cleaning my CC gear Les apart from if a bit of glue gets on it.

    Les, I am not sure if Colen coats the square with something. If in doubt it might be worth emailing him through Terry Gordon.

    I haven't had to clean my gear for a while but usually just wipe it with camellia oil.

    And when you find out can you perhaps let us know what Colen recommends?
