Default Re: Phosphating

I've used the Palmetto stuff with great results. I've done bolts on a 2 burner hot plate with heatproof glass container. I think it was called Visions glassware.
Be carefull as some glass cookware will fracture with direct heat. Larger items are just too hard too get the heat up and maintain the correct temperature so I've used gas grill for those. Use stainless steel vessels. I have a stainless deep tray that I think was a restaurant item and a big stainless pot from Walmart. No odor but I'd make sure I used it in a well ventilated area. Make sure to coat the parts after removing them. I've got some stuff from ASL (long gone co)called Protech that works well to coat items. I just dip , let dry and buff 'em a little. Boeshield works ok too or even oil. I had some chemical left over from about 18 yrs ago that still worked fine just recently but only had enough for a few small items. I bought some more on ebay and just did a hood latch that came out great. Like the others have said make sure part is clean and rust free. I always glass bead parts first and don't handle them with bare hands and I usually then wipe them with thinner. I started using this stuff years ago when I restored my copo and the those parts still look good.
