FYI doesn't work and I'm not painting a chain. This did work and gave it that industrial look I wanted. Thanks double like
I used this method in the past and it worked fine but this time for some reason not so much. I think scuffing up the metal helped a bit, but in the end peroxide, vinegar and salt was the ticket. Thanks for sharing,
@@heyjarrod yes. But Ferric chloride is the best way to age metal instantly. The other is a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, salt and white vinegar. That’ll rust it, but FC will immediately take the shine away and age it. Both work great.
Replace salt and vinegar with hydrochloric acid (in UK sold as slab stain remover), rub whatever hardware you've got with a scotch pad to make hydrochloric acid work faster, then leave it in hydrochloric acid for 10-15 minutes, and then in peroxide for another 10. Much quicker. Source: used to relic electric guitars for a living, including their hardware, going from brand new look to 1960s in 30 minutes (metal part, obviously).
@@WW-1995 No, never happened. Not once. I used hydrogen peroxide bath after acid. Have to be careful how long you keep in acid, if you do it for too long then metal can turn dark, so I usually did it for 5-10 minutes.
@@coolcat3918 I guess it depends which acid you use then. I saw that Ferric chloride gives a greenish looks to hardware while Muriatic acid does a really good job (and if you want even more rust then the salt-vinegar will works perfectly after the muriatic acid).
What a great look! Can you tell me if the rust comes off on your hands? I want to do this on galvanized metal, if you think it will work? I’ll be selling my project, so I can’t have rust to come off. Thanks!!!
Thx for this vid. Very helpful as I wish to age the same items you show in vid. I do wish to ask if you know how well the finished product will be for use on corrugated tin which I want to age for a kitchen redo.
Could someone suggest a way to stabilize (coat) the metal this way? I've heard some people say they soaked the rusted metal in boiled mineral oil. I want the metal to look rusted but I don't want the rust to spread on other things. Thanks for the video!
Yes and it can also work with white vinegar only. An alternative solution is to pour white vinegar inside a plastic box and then put your metal piece inside the box without touching the vinegar directly (you can put a smaller plastic box or something that coulf float) and then close the box and let it sit for hours/day depending the results you want.
Rusting only happens on metals with some iron in it. Other kinds of metals can be aged by using ammonia to create 'white rust' or whitish corrosion marks as part of their oxidation process. They are a lot harder to corrode, which is why that are more useful for residential and commercial products.
Keep in mind that this tutorial only works on bare metal. If you're trying to do this on a metal that has protection it will not works. You'll have to remove its protection first.
hi how long does this process take to happen? there's no mention of how long they took to get black and then get rusted. does the process have to happen in that order? or can i go straight to the salt and hydrogen peroxide>rust scenario?
@@cassandrabudd Is says right in the video on the screen. 4-5 hours In the salt and vinegar and 30 min in the peroxide and vinegar. How did you miss that?
No. I just watched it. It's zinc plated. Says on the package. 0:12 it's that garbage cheap furniture comes with to look like shiny chrome. If it galvanize you have to sand it off first.
Not really, no. The rusting from oxidation only happens if it's iron (or an alloy with iron, like steel). But non-iron alloys can be artificially corroded using ammonia to create some splotching, patina effects. It's often white chalky, called white rust. Brass is an alloy made with copper, and you can get a bit of that cool blue green patina effect.

If you use acid on your guitar's hardware, the steel will turn green which isn't really "natural aging"-looking.

works on any metal? even stainless?
I noticed that the metal hardware says zinc coated!Would this work on stainless steel?
Awesome video . thank you !
Awesome job.
Does this process work with Aluminum?

Excellent!! Really works!!👍
Worked brilliantly and I still had the gloves! 😊👊

If it takes too much times, you might consider removing the protective metal coat (sandpaper or maybe heat the piece) and then follow the tutorial.

Sand it down then do it

Aluminum.
