Default Re: Black Oxide for Stainless

i have used it many time and was happy with the results for the most part. The ss takes a special sealer. I also have found a few tricks to letting it take better. Etch your parts in a sulfuric acid bath. Let the parts sit after coating for about 3 hrs and place int he oven to cook and they will dry a lot faster. If you call greg at caswell's he will fill you in on all the tricks of the trade with this stuff. One thing I found was the part always seems to weep "always lets the sealer out" I have not found a way to stop this or have not been able to catch greg with my scheduel lately.
