6-25-20 I just got my kit today and did a sample bolt and nut for a Bridgeport mill I am restoring. So far it is good, not that many nuts and bolts on a mill but from the first try I'm satisfied. I don't recall the instructions saying anything about the used motor oil. I did get the sealer though.
@@alex-dk2rj I haven't tried to scratch it off, I do have a piece that needs to be done over due to a drip/run of the sealer that puddled up and leaving a line. I will try scratching before redoing it.
Nice job. I would recommend using Caswell clear coat solution to give the bolts a protective finish. I found that the black looks a bit chalky after weather exposure when using oil to protect it.
I would love to know how durable they are? I'm looking to do my stainless ARP bolts, but I'm looking to get a glossy black finish like ARP does on their black oxide bolts!
Here is the link to the Video review of the Eastwood vibratory tumbler I used to clean all these bolts prior to coating. ruclips.net/video/rWq1W9Tpv2I/видео.html
4Low, other vids show heating the entire process except the final oil coating... then cooking that "in"? wonder if that's just overkill or enhances the process? Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the demonstration. Can you do a rust test with some of these parts? Submerge with water and a bit of salt and then let them sit out somewhere. I reviewed the caswell sight... It does not speak to the protective abilities of this process.
More P I have not finished the restoration of the truck yet so can’t give any real world experience yet - but I will pick some hardware and place it outside and see what happens!
s4ss Hi - the parts are a mix of types, however I believe most of any previous coatings were taken off during my cleaning process. I did not electro plate anything prior to this process.
Not quite sure what you are asking - the bolts are steel, the black oxide solution is made with a product from Caswell. - does that answer your question?
+Abe's very own channel it will add to the corrosion protection, though I'm not sure how much. Here is some info about it on Wikipedia: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_oxide

Correct. Rust proofing can only be done if you completely exclude oxygen and moisture from contacting the surface of the steel. FE2O3, FE3O4…. Without the O it’s not rusty.
Make sure to either clear coat them, use RPM, or spray with light oil or else they will rust quickly.

Good stuff! Motor oil definitely was not a requirement 😎

Good to know - thanks!
It does work with heat
Haven’t exposed any of them to heat yet, not sure! - great question though!
ThankYou

Have you used sulfuric acid to etch the steel before coating? Not getting a black coating on hard steel.

Interesting - not sure. I can see the heat allowing the process to get deeper into the surface perhaps? Thanks for watching!

Great idea!
@@4LowLifeIOIYIOI I'll cross my fingers! :)
Check out the wrenches with oxide finishes, Craftsman and Husky. The oxide wears off easily.
Will you be so kind enough to tell us how long the oxide coating lasts? Does it effectively prevent rusting?

Don't tell him. It's a _TRICK!_
Does it prevent from rusting again ?
Any idea if this would work to but a black coating on a know blade? Looking to get a knife black blade on some D2 steel.
Not sure exactly what the differences are with that steel, but I would think it should.
@ 3:40 - Thanks, but I looked at my phone anyway heh, heh…
LOL - it even caught me when I was editing the video 🤣
Any follow up on how the blackening is holding up?
Well, the truck is still in my shop being assembled very slowly, so no “real world” exposure yet!
Nice job
Thanks!
Ya boy about to murder out the beyblade son
Lord Gold Throneroom lmfao I see you too listen to HORSE the band.
Where did you get the long trays? Got a link?
T L I believe I just got them at a local dollar store (?)
Rubbermaid kitchen drawer organizers or use drywall mud trays they have plastic ones
are those parts previously electro zincked ?

Will it work on chrome ?
Al Silva good question! I’m not sure how it would react?

IMHO used motor oil is not a good idea, it contains sulfur from the combustion and that will cause corrosion of the plated part.
You know this is not RUST proofing the bolts
Correct. Rust proofing can only be done if you completely exclude oxygen and moisture from contacting the surface of the steel. FE2O3, FE3O4…. Without the O it’s not rusty.
How do/did you dispose of the oxide bath/ liquids after use?
I actually just kept them stored for the next use in plastic bottles. 😎
Did any of the finish come off to the touch or wear off from time?
Nothing yet, but the bolts are not really in a place that they would...
poor audio quality
Yes, I have since bought a microphone - that was just recorded on a phone.
Does this work on stainless steel?
