Does it just blacken, or does it actually form a magnetite surface? Does anyone know a supplier of black coat chemicals who sells small quantities? info@finishingtalk.com (glazeshard) Tue, 29 Jan 2008 16:03:00 +0000 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post1275.html#p1275 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post438.html#p438 "3" [url="http://www.carolinaprocesscontrol.com/index.php"][img]http://www.carolinaprocesscontrol.com/i/t/logo.png[/img][/url] [color="Navy"]"3"[/color] info@finishingtalk.com (Carolina Process Control) Sun, 24 Dec 2006 14:37:46 +0000 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post438.html#p438 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post437.html#p437 im still interested in it do you have samples of it and how much. info@finishingtalk.com (bill) Sun, 24 Dec 2006 00:33:42 +0000 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post437.html#p437 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post436.html#p436 No, sorry to say, it will not work on stainless steels. It's only for mild steel. info@finishingtalk.com (Dedalus) Fri, 22 Dec 2006 20:20:15 +0000 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post436.html#p436 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post435.html#p435 hi there i would be interested in it will it also do stainless, would like to test it out. info@finishingtalk.com (bill) Fri, 22 Dec 2006 02:05:06 +0000 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post435.html#p435 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post425.html#p425 About 5 years ago, I used to sell chemicals in Berkeley, California. We used to sell a lot of products to artists for patination of sculptures, that sort of thing. We used to get a lot of calls for a cold black for steel similar to a product called "Birchwood Casey." The company that makes this has a fairly large minimum order, or used to, so I formulated a comparable product which I sold in a 16 ounce size. I didn't "reverse engineer" their formula. I started with a public domain formula, and tweaked it until I got a coating that wasn't powdery, and didn't rub off. I called it "JetKote 54." Is there much call for this sort of thing in industrial metal finishing? I understand that it's nothing like real black oxide, but I think it might have its place for some people. I'd like to start brewing it up again, if it does. Any feedback would be deeply appreciated. info@finishingtalk.com (Dedalus) Tue, 19 Dec 2006 20:34:05 +0000 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post425.html#p425
