Default Black oxide cloudy

Hello everyone,

We just received our black oxide kit yesterday and immediately put it to use with excellent results. Kit paid for itself in one day and we only used 1/2 of the solution.

Only thing we've noticed is that the solution has turned cludy as if milk had been poured into it, we were wondering if this was normal or if we've contaminated the solution. We degreased the parts witrh lacquer thinner and then thoroughly washed them with water, could the thinner be the problem?

What would be the best product to degrease the parts before dipping in the black oxide?

thanks.

Cesar.

Chances are the laquer could be the problem.

Try our degreasers or use hot water and dish soap to clean the parts.

If the solution still gives you good results, keep using it.
