I used a candy thermometer to help me regulate the temp. Just follow directions.

I was never able to get the phosphate finish as dark as the original finishes I've seen using these chemicals. A nice grey yes but not the crystalline near black finish I would like to duplicate, especially on the pulleys.

I get my chemicals from Lauer Waeponry. https://www.lauerweaponry.com/index....ategory_ID=610 You can use a ceramic hot plate & pyrex bowls for small parts and bolts. |
