Model Forum / General / Models / April 2009Frost P240 blacking kit
Hi all, are the results of this kit ok or is there a better product to blacken tools? Best regards, Dirk > Hi all, are the results of this kit ok or is there a better product to > blacken tools? > Best regards, > Dirk If the tools are steel and not too large then heating till hot and dunking in old engine oil is what i do, never used a chemical kit or do't know if any good.

A dull glow is good, but make sure you drop it in deep oil. I remember dropping a clamp in the 1/2 inch of oil in the tray rather than the pot when at school and the room filled with smoke. Of course after that we did it every time :) >> On Apr 14, 12:56 pm, Dirk <df.ganzi...@jezusmail.com> wrote: >>> Hi all, are the results of this kit ok or is there a better product to [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >Of course after that we did it every time :) However, I presume this technique is only good for non-heat-treated stuff.

It works just fine, I have used it for years without problems. -- Chris Edwards (in deepest Dorset) "....there *must* be an easier way!"

It works ok, and is a cold process, but it does involve a lot of messing about with different solutions. I still have the kit, but like the other folks who've replied, I now generally use oil blacking.

I find the kit rather expensive, about €60,- overhere. But if the result justifies the cost, why not. I am a bit reluctant to heat my qtc to cherry red and dunk it in waste oil though.
