I tried using JAX blackener for steel today on a test piece of cold rolled
steel tubing.
At first it seemed to work really well but after washing it off and hanging
to dry, it quickly got an orange coating on it (like rust but...not quite).
Clearly i did something wrong. Anyone have any advice? I wondered if i wax
over it if it would go away (wishful thinking i'm sure). i did clean the
piece quite well but i didnt use Muratic acid first or anything like that.
Just cleaned and dipped and washed.
stinky stinky! i worse gloves but somehow my hand still smells like sulfur.
:-(
