[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 3190826, member: 6777"] Properly handled it will last a year. needs regular use or salts will all crawl out of the tanks . You mix it in a Black Iron tank (not stainless) big enough to hold the items without them touching the sides. (Stainless tanks or touching sides causes galvanic action which the bluing will later rub off) You heat tank to approx. 292 degrees in a WELL VENTILATED area. Note that this stuff is highly corrosive, eats aluminum like crazy. You will need at a minimum Bluing tank Hot water cleaning tank w/ oakite or similar cleanser fresh water rinse tank bleed out neutralizer tank (optional but recommended) hot oil dip tank Propane or natural gas burners for 4 of the tanks. racks to hold tanks and burners recommended heavy rubber gloves that go past your elbows Mask and goggles Only do this in an area you can afford to destroy. The fumes will corrode everything. [/QUOTE]
