My bad, this whole thread was kinda unintentionally misleading, I have been taking you all on a roller coaster
I realize how I’m breaking some peoples hearts by saying stuff like that (Dremel)
I should have put a trigger warning
To be clear: I got this for 10 euros, it was seriously beaten up, it was begging to die (looks wise) and the exhaust was already dead (and NLA) and just a week earlier I had just seen the Yin Yang 156s (above)
Here the only 2 before pictures:
It seemed perfect for the job of taking it to the butchers
that area was caked in it (what I believe is mold) , still was at that point as well just not cakey
More or less: the entirety of the brass under the mouthpiece was indeed chromed (well for the few seconds on the few parts that I could see while scrubbing it looked like it)
But it was also black, powdery black, that well.. was not silicone
I first thought mouthpiece but the other parts of the case didn’t make sense how the silicone came to the other spots (after pictures to show the extent of caking/brushing), and why I dragged a powdery layer of it every time I dragged my hand into the metal tube
All what’s in brass gold/orange used to be black:
Also looking inside the (disgusting) mouthpiece it shows no cracking or similar, just an extra film of “lake water life” (brownish greenish), which I experinced before on a white maskstrap
It’s where water could sit the longest (also scratched up parts that are porous so inviting for life)
Maybe it's not mold.. dried algea.. primordial juice... whatever that was; I want it a galaxy aways from me
Here is how the faceplate (future victim) came up after all the cleaning:
(5 picture limit, next post)
I will try and remind you, noob trying a new skill on a safe playground, here are my other BAs:

The Dremel will come for it, Ill have a couple of practice runs on some random sheet metal, but one day soon enough it will…

you don’t, that was an after picture, I already have cleaned off quite a bit of black residueMaybe I need new glasses but I do not see mold.
That’s my handy workchrome plating is gone, flaked off, exposing raw brass which has a little verdigris on those now exposed brass areas.
