Ferric Cloride and a shot of Vodka. That's IT.Made from dissolving nails in masonry acid you get a Atrwood's and bubbling hydrogen peroxide to oxygenate it and convert the acid to ferric cloride. You don't even really need the Hydrogen Peroxide if you have an aquarium bubbler. It just make it faster, Hydrogen Peroxide is loooaded with oxygen. That it why it works so good as an antiseptic. Bugs can't live in an oxygen rich environment. That is all rust is is oxidation on iron.The shot of vodka? That is just a little alcohol for a surfacant. Well dangit, we have to have some excuse to have two ingredients. That and one shot of Vodka for the browning and one for me. And another for me. Well you get the picture. Ya gotta have sumptin if your sittin around sanding on metal all day.Picture has a wood chisel I didn't even prep with 8 boilings/cardings some not even left to rust 3-4 hrs lying next to a magazine tube with a factory rust blue. Its already a little darker after you end the process with some sort of oil applied. The other is everybody's favorite el-cheapo kitchen knife, a Old Hick. with 4 coats dun. The last picture is my stock butt after only 30 minutes. Already gun metal grey and Hella harder than that wipe on crap.[ATTACH=full]203871[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]203872[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
