First attempt at rust bluing...with house hold "chemicals".

Beautiful job, Al

Sure looks like you have the system down to a science now!

Thanks Todd. :)

Not much of a science...stubbornness is the key...and I'm good at that.

After carding, the first 2-3 rustings don't appear to do much of anything....they are...a fellow just has to stick with it.

Very time consuming, but results in a much more durable finish than cold blue. AND...a fellow can do something else while the steel is rusting.

Looks really good Al

Your right it's a game of stubbornness. Those first few coats that seem to produce no results are tedious.

But it does blow even professional cold blue out of the water.

I'm certainly believing that it does.
