1 Hour Red Rust Bluing

In this video I make and rust blue some milling machine vise clamps. I rust blued them in about an hour. I use standard stuff found in the house: white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, salt, a common degreaser and some dihydrogren monoxide (aka water). A nice black rust resistant coating is created on the parts - perfect for the home shop. A fellow Cancuk has a very good blog post and influenced me on the process: https://mypeculiarnature.blogspot.ca/...


While the process is easy, please make sure you take appropriate precautions. Wear gloves and safety goggles and watch out for burns. TSP can be nasty - if you don't want to use TSP there are safer alternatives.
