Default Re: Stainless Steel Blackener 370 - who has used it? any pictures?

Using a blackener wouldnt be anodizing as stainless steel doesnt anodize, it dissolves. Caswells blackener is nothing close to real black oxide. Their substitute scratches off and doesnt produce a clean finish. However, the real process is very dangerous and requires the use of several hot (above boiling) alkalines
