BO Kit Question

[VinS]

I am planning on using black oxide on the barrel of a rifle I am refurbing and have a couple questions. Currently all parts that are to be oxided have been glass beaded. All parts are mild steel.


Does the sealer in the kit prevent rusting or will I have to apply oil to the piece from time to time?

Does caswell have a suggested tank/tray that will accomodate a 30 to 36 inch barrel?

Anything else I need to know?

Thanks

I don't know what Caswell suggests, but I use a plastic storage container, the kind that is used for storing wrapping paper. It's about 36" long, works fine. You might have to swirl the liquid for complete coverage, but it can be done. You could use some vinyl gutter, with end pieces glued on, if you need something longer. Take a walk thru some discount stores, you'll be suprised w/ what you can get, cheap.

Great, thanks.
