@KITROBASKIN,
Thanks for posting to the Best-of thread :thumbsup:
Wait hu?!?! The HF tiny? How did I miss that!
Love my HF. I'm waiting with baited breath for my HF-R. Now I find out there's another MBI light I need?!
Looks like the perfect light to replace my Streamlight Nano Light. Now I need to find the thread with more info about it.
Hi dcphoto,
Not new thread for it as its almost an HF.
Finally, I'm expecting the working proto to land roughly next weekend and I'm really looking forward to sharing the details with everyone.
What is the best way to clean the patina off a Cu HF? I heard ketchup in a ziplock bag overnight would do the trick but don't know if that is optimal method. Any advice?
Hi VeloWeave,
Thanks for the question.
I know we mailed already but in case its helpful, I tend to use Glanol metal polish for just about everything.
I discovered quickly that it cleans all too well, some of the brass/copper HFs I had with a rather awesome 1yr+ patina, turned into a shiny metal within just a couple of minutes of easy polishing with a cloth.
Whilst on the topic, for Ti, I sometimes also use diamond paste when I want to remove fine scratches but caution is advised as when I was using it on multiple CoreTi with a rotary tool, it seemed to give me a cough for a good few months, so now I use it sparingly, and wear a mask if I'm going to use a tool that might give off any dust.
Flitz polish is brilliant with copper.
Thanks sticktodrum

There are many products and home remedies out there.
I bet Guy has a good solution for you. You can email him for support.
I would be very cautious and take care to try and get as little as possible(or none) between the rotating tail switch and body of the switch itself. There's gold contacts in the switch assembly .

Thanks GL,
Yes good point about not getting any between the connecting parts of the switch.
I had also mentioned that to VeloWeave by mail.
I've had just a little (paste) seep into some test tails I worked on previously and it didn't seem to do them any harm as there's quite a maze to travel from the connection point to the tail internals.
"HF-R Ti UTT", "HF-R Ti STT", and Ti momentary switches with cap are all due approximately next weekend.
The UTT, is officially: Ultimate Trit Tail
So anyone care to guess what the STT is?
....Single Trit Tail
Bit of a rough photo, but gives you an idea...
This will let you simply and easily add a trit to the tail and as its a more standard size, more color options.
I was actually thinking of just a flat tail version but there was no reduction in height possible due to the internal structure so I decided to add the single trit slot for some variation.
This round of HF-R Ti will be available with a choice of an XML2-T6 5000K (neutral white) and XML2-U2 6200K (white) and if you are wondering what the difference is, I expect the U2 will be a tiny bit brighter whilst the T6 will have a truer color rendition (from memory 75CRI minimum) and the bin reference for that LED is between 4750K-5000K.
I am very excited to finally have a reasonable number of the momentary switches too but they might disappear quickly (expecting 100 of them).
Feel welcome to mail me (contact link in my signature in case you're not sure) in case you'd like to be sure to get a hold of any of these.

p.s. for our tribal copper lovers, I have not forgotten you. Working on those, but no hard ETA just yet
