I did this experiment and documented my results! I am finishing my MFA VFX thesis all about rust and will be citing this video in my bibliography! So thank yOU!
I can’t thank you enough for this video. I’m on a fixed income and you saved me $30 on the commercial ruster. ( I feel blessed to have any income at all during the pandemic. Closer to the grave though😹) and $30 is a lot of money!! Stay safe and healthy. 👍&subscribed
Dear Kevin, I needed to “Rust” several brand new Mason Jar lids instantly for nightlights I’m making my grandchildren. I saw several products online that would have worked with an average price of $28! Thank you for saving me so much money! I have all the ingredients I need in my house including the spray bottles. You’re the man! I’m going to make sure I tell my grandchildren that science is cool and so are you! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Putting a large sheet of steel with this rust texture on top of a table or counter would look really nice! Especially if it were under a layer of epoxy (or some other sealant) to give it some depth. I really like this tutorial!
+Samuel Weaver Yeah, if it's going to be used as a top surface on furniture, you'd probably want a coat of epoxy, or some other type of heavy clear coat on top like that. I'd also recommend letting it sit for several days (maybe a week or longer?) to deepen and become more solid before adding the clear coat. I did mine a bit quick for the video. If it's just a piece of yard art, wall art, etc., you can just leave it raw and let it develop a deeper patina over time.
Never thought someone would ever use rust as an artistic look! 😯 I am always wanting to cleanse it off all the metal parts of my vehicle and coat it with anti-rust products instead.
This video was the solution to my tin roof 1/35 scale house I'm building. Your mixture worked like a champ. All of my tin roof panels came out looking amazing. Great tip!
I want to thank you for a very well thought out simple video on making rust on metal surfaces, I love the way you took it slow and very simple on what you will need. I am in the process of wanting to make steam punk art made out of steel pipe and they have to be rusty or I wont have the effect I need you answered my question fully thank you again . I hope you read your messages
This potbelly stove I got needed a new back so I put in new stove pipe, paint stripped it and used your formula. It rusted the new back perfectly to match the old rusted stove. You are correct about it being only a beginning rust and could probably be completely removed with steel wool but the look is real rust. Thanks for the video info.
Just did this today on a barn star my mom wanted rusted and may I just say WOW!! It looks absolutely amazing!!!!! I missed it with black paint to give it depth and even more depth by using gloss clear coat to.stop the rusting it looks crazy amazing and giving me some great ideas for a rat rod car 10/10 subscribing
If the rust is a bit fragile just gently splash with a small amount of rust converter or black tea solution (yes a tea bag in hot water). If you do it right you will get a tougher brown/black surface. I did it on a garden screen and it looks great.
You can rub the rust lightly with steel wool and then you Boil the steel part in clean distilled water. This changes it to black rust, a kinda good rust unlike the red rust that spreads like cancer on everthing it touches. Repeat the rust, steel wool boil process until it looks like it wont rust anymore, then after boiling it you can oil it. You get a black coating, a Bluing finish that should last for years.
That is awesome! I'm planning to paint a picture of Mars in rust. So, I'm hoping this will work with a bunch of nails and screws I have laying around. I really just need the rust juice left after the nails have rusted.
@@connordrysdale5333 I ended up making a watercolor by drying out the rust residue left behind, grinding it, and then mixing it with gum arabic, but the result was not what I envisioned. I was hoping it would continue rusting after I applied the paint, but it didn't, and the color that I ended up with was more of a burnt umber than the rusty orange red that I was hoping for. I'll have to try it again, though. I had another jar of stuff rusting away, and I accidentally knocked it over, and gave up on that project after that. Lol!
what kind of clear coat where you using? is it something special rust stoper coat for metal or some kind of regular acrilic coats you can find in paint shops?
This is one of my favorite videos! I have a wall piece that I want to perform this technique on. It is in my bathroom and was painted gold. Should I remove the gold paint first? Cathryn
+AMATEUR DECORATING LIKE A PRO Thanks! Yes, you'd need to remove any coatings on it and get down to the raw metal, so the solution can start eating at it to produce the rust. If any gold paint is on it, it will be like the sections I clear coated & won't rust.
This is a great video to create a rusted look, but i would like to warn that this process doesnt actually create proper iron oxide, rather it produces iron acetate which is a very different chemical, so if you are looking to create iron oxide for specific chemical reactions, this wont work very well, it will produce small amounts of iron oxide due to the water in peroxide and vinegar, but mostly the acetate compound, however for a cosmetic of rust, this method will work completely fine still! Side note, if you are looking to produce iron acetate in bulk, i wouldnt use salt, as that will make a very impure batch, if you put a piece of metal in solution and heat it, it will react quickly to produce a sufficient quantity.
What about if you do this and then let the metal sit for months? Will it be real rust (iron oxide)? I am using this in my thesis about rust lol and just now seeing this comment.
@@annabeck8097 it wont convert into rust over time, it stays as iron acetate, i believe the easiest way to get rust in large quantities is by simply getting a bunch of iron in as fine of pieces as possible, putting it in a container of water, and defusing air into the water, shaking would work, but an air stone would be much better
Using household vinegar, 3% household peroxide and a little salt.....This is an extremely mild solution, "vicious" no, not at all in fact. This isn't going to hurt you unless you decide to drink it, spray it up your nose, or in your eyes. Which I'm guessing from your lack of knowledge is something that you might be dumb enough to try! Don't spew bull shit, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about. And yes, I did do A-levels in organic + non organic chemistry, whereas you didn't.
Theres a guy named Axel Kriloff that painted with rust effects and created many of the album covers for the band "dirge" Theres a video of one of their albums called "Blight and Vision below a faded sun" that is full of his artwork and i really want to try this method to create stuff similar to that.
@@verdant2215 I love restoration videos... a lot of them are fake though. Starts with some numpty casually rummaging around in a garbage heap... who then stumbles upon a thing that is so hyperbolically corroded that you're surprised it doesn't crumble as he picks it up. He then puts it in some magic liquids and through the artful use of his restoration toothbrush, some clever trick photography and the actual perfect version of the product kept out of shot while he "restores" the destroyed one... you get the picture. But yes, there are some great ones too :)
will/and or..maybe would this work for model trains...because i didn't think that it really would unless you use like either stuff thats similar...and or so/decals or so/something like that. But then considering how the little bridge thats about maybe 25-/to 30 something minutes away or so has a little/small but still kinda big...goes over the freeway i-65/i65, and how the supports/wall for the fence is concrete with square holes cut out, and the fence poles that hold it up are metal...and how again that the metal rusts on to the concrete...and what really gave me the idea, was when i had a little hexagon shape tub thing, for the robotic hex bug fish...and when i had filled it up with water, i had some type of little metal 6 sided nut thing, and i had dropped it in the water, for got it was in there a few days later or so,...and it had rusted the nut from silver to rusty on to the plastic in the same size and maybe similar to the same shape as the nut. But thats what got me thinking after awhile or so, if thats actually even possible...because i like do think that it would be...in terms of putting the metal,/and or maybe...piece of metal rather on the body, and when you either leave it out which i was originally thinking; oh yeah...actually i had the/and or a idea of leaving a metal toy o scale train put side, and or i guess any size train for that matter rather...but anyway, so i had the idea of leaving a metal 1/one out there in the rain on the wooden table thats on our back patio. Then leaving the metal on the plastic, after that, the metal on the plastic body, with also figuring out someway to take the body off so the wheels don't rust and make it to where the train cant really roll as andor that easy...(and the same with the plastic too). But then i had the same idea in terms of putting/i guess maybe abd or submerging the train/whole car...(train car), under water, and taking not the wheels off...but the truck thing that holds the wheels or so. then just putting the piece of metal on top, and or few pieces of metal or so along the top with it under water...and maybe like, it will.would or so rust on to the car and drip down just like the real thing. (and sorry if this is a little long and or repetitive in spots)
I'm thinking about clear coating the whole thing, then use an exacto knife to draw something by scratching that coat, and then spray acid on it. I wonder if it would be enough to make it corrode well to make the design visible.
this is brilliant. Although the presentation you made here is very old I hope you look at the site occasionally to maybe answer questions. Last year I entered a floral competition - in the category where the entries had to feature something rusty alongside the flowers. I was not one of the winners - but the judges made the comment after the winners had been announced that some of the entries did not feature enough rust. So your method might allow me to perhaps do better in the next competition. If I keep on rusting some of the edges of sheet metal multiple times could I get to the point where some holes appear in some spots and some edges are a bit ragged?
I'm getting some "stainless steel" utensils laser engraved as a gift and was wondering if this method would help reveal any possibility of corrosion down the line? Thanks for the info! :) :)
Amazing, I’m going to use your method to do my kitchen cabinet doors. I had metal covers made. Question… is there a way to distress without too much red and more gray/black? 🥂💓
Yessss. I'm a huge fan of steelies. I'd definitely give them time for the rust to take grip so it doesn't flake off at speed. But they should be awesome. Send me a picture of them on my Facebook page when you're done if you can.
After you have applied the solution, will the item continue to oxidize and rust over time? I wonder would the metal deteriorate and lose its strength. I may rust a panel and have something hanging from it - but I want to make sure it won't continue to rust and break apart.
I want to rust paperclips for Junk Journals. I was wondering how toxic the fumes are. Cleaning sites say do not combine Hydrogen Peroxide and vinegar as the fumes are toxic. Maybe keeping my glass jar of rusting clips outdoors would be a good solution?
My table is already rusted. I took some off with a wire brush, and soaked some vinegar and baking soda to take the heavy corrosion off before clear coat but it's still on the table. I'm afraid it'll peel even after clear coat. What do you suggest so it won't.
Don't know why this is useful, and I don't plan to ever do this ever Just watched this entire video tho for some some reason and its actually really cool wtf
It’s just called clear coat. If you go to your hardware store and go to the spray paint section they will most likely have cans of clear coat. Clear coat is just see through paint
Great video. I am making candle holders, using a galvanized steel conduit box to hold a square chunk of wood. I will remove the galvanization, make it look rusty but then I want to seal it to stop any more oxidation. What coating would you recommend. Are there any non-toxic clear coating (I have to stay away from toxic fumes of any kind due to my liver)? Thanks.
Great video. Very thorough and easy to follow. The reason I found your video is that I'm researching doing my ceiling in thin gauge steel, and trying to give it that old rustic look. The problem I'm facing is that I need 110 panels (2'x2') for the complete ceiling and I'm trying to find an easy way to create rust on so many panels. I've done crazier long projects before and so patience and perseverance is not an issue if need be. Can you possible recommend any ideas that may "speed up" the process? Summer is coming soon here in the outskirts of Toronto, does the summer heat improve, or possible accelerate the affect ? Do you have a bunch of friends with spray bottles who can spare a day or two LOL?? Thanks in advance.
I think you could lay them out and then use some of those big yard sprayers that you pump up to try and speed things up. Then just leave them sitting out for a day or two (or longer if needed) until they look like you want.
Super helpful I’m using this video now to rust some steel, just wondering how long you waited in between the coats of vinegar ? I know you said till it drys but just a time frame that you used, I was doing it like 20 mins in between and I wouldn’t see any dripping or wet parts at that point but should it be longer?
Hi, I have a roll of thin galvanized metal. I patina coper with vinegar or amonia and salt and it becomes beautiful blues and greens. Can I make those colors with Galvanized metal?? Or does it only work with brass and copper? I'm trying to find ways to patina colors to galvanized metals so I can use this role of metal for jewelry :). Thanks.
Seems like mixing an acid(vinegar) and bases (salt and Hydrogen peroxide) would neutralize each other out or reduce them to be less acid or base depending on the ratio.
Great effect, thank you! Unfortunately, I need that on aluminum, I used "Modern Masters - iron reactive paint" and it worked quite well but results are inconsistent, blotchy or uniform, impossible to control depending on temperature and humidity and it seems that this product is now discontinued anyway. If I ever can get some of that Iron paint or equivalent, I will try your "Rusty 3000" it seems to work much better than their. Do you have any suggestion for a product to "rust" aluminum and perhaps plastic? If I can't find real rust I will have to get artsy and sponge paint texture and colors. Late thanks for the video.👍🏻
100 Transistors yes pool acid (muriatic acid / diluted hydrochloric acid) better than using hydrofluoric acid (does not burn until a few days after exposure , calcium seeker, you won't feel till it starts eating your bones ) oh I miss my days of working around acid baths. Back onto the topic...muriatic acid is also a good iron picking agent. use with care. It was my favorite /fastest rusting method. make sure to neutralize it after desired result or else it will continue to rust , even with a clear coat sealant. so it's very important to stop the reaction before you clear coat. On a side note from my running with scissors days. Muriatic acid is also fun to put a little inside a plastic bottle like a 2ltr then put a strip of aluminum foil inside the bottle with it and then immediately recap the bottle as you move far away quickly. .....bøøøm! Bata big bøøøm! Decades ago made one that sent the pieces of 55 gallon size construction plastic drum 30 feet into the air . So if you go against logic and try it out ....don't try indoors. Yes, I Had to throw in a 5th element reference. Yay!! Fun with inorganic chemistry !!
Will this for sure work on my girlfriend if she's listening to metal rusting music bands like the iron carbon's or AC/DC non galvanized album? Or she should just get a tan instead like I've been telling her?
Hi great video thanks for it. I have a question is hydrogen peroxide essential for this application? Because i am so allergic to peroxide (deadly level) thanks again.
Do you rinse before you clear it? Was curious if the clear would peel? Thanks though for a great vid! I want to age some shiny carriage bolts for a project. They look plated, not galvanized so I’ll probably hit them with a wire wheel before spraying with your concoction, Rusty 3K or whatever you called it. Jim
For the video, I just used a regular spray paint clear coat so it would dry fairly quickly. It's not the toughest stuff, but for a simple wall art piece, etc it would be fine. You could probably use just about any other top coats you wanted though. Spray paint clear, automotive clear, lacquer, poly, etc. You might want to let the rust take hold for a few days so it doesn't flake off when clearing, I'd test a small sample piece first to be sure.
its always the videos from almost a decade ago that help me out the most

I will remove the galvanization, make it look rusty but then I want to seal it to stop any more oxidation. What coating would you recommend. Are there any non-toxic clear coating (I have to stay away from toxic fumes of any kind due to my liver)? Thanks.
Great video. Very thorough and easy to follow. The reason I found your video is that I'm researching doing my ceiling in thin gauge steel, and trying to give it that old rustic look. The problem I'm facing is that I need 110 panels (2'x2') for the complete ceiling and I'm trying to find an easy way to create rust on so many panels. I've done crazier long projects before and so patience and perseverance is not an issue if need be. Can you possible recommend any ideas that may "speed up" the process? Summer is coming soon here in the outskirts of Toronto, does the summer heat improve, or possible accelerate the affect ? Do you have a bunch of friends with spray bottles who can spare a day or two LOL?? Thanks in advance.
I think you could lay them out and then use some of those big yard sprayers that you pump up to try and speed things up. Then just leave them sitting out for a day or two (or longer if needed) until they look like you want.
Thought of that, I think I'll give it a try.Thanks
Thank you
Thanks a lot. Life saver. Bless you bob😎
hell ya thank you this video was the most help ever.
Awesome! Glad you liked it.
I just mixed one part of each viniger peroxide and salt and it works like a hot damn
I wonder if this would work on the tips of nails so after its hammered in you see the tops of the rusted nail sticking out...
I used a formula a little bit different. It was 18oz of peroxide, 1ounce of vinegar and a tablespoon on salt
Curious, what clear coat did you use? Any specific type? Thanks.
Super helpful I’m using this video now to rust some steel, just wondering how long you waited in between the coats of vinegar ? I know you said till it drys but just a time frame that you used, I was doing it like 20 mins in between and I wouldn’t see any dripping or wet parts at that point but should it be longer?
I have galvanized metal. Do I need to sand it to make it rustic like this?
Really cool! Thanks!
It's really cool
My question I have is did it feel like a campfire?
Hi, I have a roll of thin galvanized metal. I patina coper with vinegar or amonia and salt and it becomes beautiful blues and greens.
Can I make those colors with Galvanized metal??
Or does it only work with brass and copper? I'm trying to find ways to patina colors to galvanized metals so I can use this role of metal for jewelry :). Thanks.
Seems like mixing an acid(vinegar) and bases (salt and Hydrogen peroxide) would neutralize each other out or reduce them to be less acid or base depending on the ratio.
thanks brother
is that Pvt. pyle from full metal jacket?
Yeah
Can you keep the mixture (hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and salt) for weeks or months? Does it lose its umph while it sits in bottle.
Does this work on spoons ? I need a rusty spoon but can’t find one so ...
Intellectual right here
What do you recommend to rust stainless steel?
Great effect, thank you! Unfortunately, I need that on aluminum, I used "Modern Masters - iron reactive paint" and it worked quite well but results are inconsistent, blotchy or uniform, impossible to control depending on temperature and humidity and it seems that this product is now discontinued anyway. If I ever can get some of that Iron paint or equivalent, I will try your "Rusty 3000" it seems to work much better than their.
Do you have any suggestion for a product to "rust" aluminum and perhaps plastic? If I can't find real rust I will have to get artsy and sponge paint texture and colors. Late thanks for the video.👍🏻
Good video what part does the salt come in
Will this work on stainless steel? Will it continue to rust more (in a bad way) if left outside?
The solution ingredients at 3:02 It does not work on galvanized metal. Galvanized metal is also hard to weld.
Denis Carbonaro I have use regular cleaning vinegar to remove the zinc coating or you could use pool acid
100 Transistors
yes pool acid (muriatic acid / diluted hydrochloric acid) better than using hydrofluoric acid (does not burn until a few days after exposure , calcium seeker, you won't feel till it starts eating your bones ) oh I miss my days of working around acid baths. Back onto the topic...muriatic acid is also a good iron picking agent. use with care. It was my favorite /fastest rusting method. make sure to neutralize it after desired result or else it will continue to rust , even with a clear coat sealant. so it's very important to stop the reaction before you clear coat. On a side note from my running with scissors days. Muriatic acid is also fun to put a little inside a plastic bottle like a 2ltr then put a strip of aluminum foil inside the bottle with it and then immediately recap the bottle as you move far away quickly. .....bøøøm! Bata big bøøøm! Decades ago made one that sent the pieces of 55 gallon size construction plastic drum 30 feet into the air . So if you go against logic and try it out ....don't try indoors. Yes, I Had to throw in a 5th element reference. Yay!! Fun with inorganic chemistry !!
Will this for sure work on my girlfriend if she's listening to metal rusting music bands like the iron carbon's or AC/DC non galvanized album? Or she should just get a tan instead like I've been telling her?
Can galvinized steel be rusted??
What type of clear coat can be sprayed on to bare metal?
Thank you for the help!
You're welcome!
I tried it. Works awesome!
Hi great video thanks for it. I have a question is hydrogen peroxide essential for this application? Because i am so allergic to peroxide (deadly level) thanks again.
Cool stuff metal
Yeah, I was really surprised at how quickly and how well this worked.
Would stainless steel work?
Very Cool!!! 👍
Do you rinse before you clear it? Was curious if the clear would peel? Thanks though for a great vid! I want to age some shiny carriage bolts for a project. They look plated, not galvanized so I’ll probably hit them with a wire wheel before spraying with your concoction, Rusty 3K or whatever you called it. Jim
Any idea what could I use to quickly rust mason jar rings?
Does more salt equal more rust
You mentioned clear coat several times. What is it? Something I can buy at Lowe's or Wal-mart? Awesome video btw!!!
For the video, I just used a regular spray paint clear coat so it would dry fairly quickly. It's not the toughest stuff, but for a simple wall art piece, etc it would be fine. You could probably use just about any other top coats you wanted though. Spray paint clear, automotive clear, lacquer, poly, etc. You might want to let the rust take hold for a few days so it doesn't flake off when clearing, I'd test a small sample piece first to be sure.
Hi, amazing video! Would this work on different metals?
was the bottle that says RUSTY 3000 or something mix with salt and hydrogen peroxide or what?
