Where can I buy the chemical to brown my barrels? I've tried google and youtube and just come up with a bunch of unrelated junk. Thanks!!!
Same setup but use an old string of Christmas tree lights for a more even heat throughout the box over the single light bulb. Line the inside of your box with aluminum foil to hold the moisture and put a half dozen soda pop caps in for holding the water. Every part of the box needs to be close to other sections for the best most even color.BrownBear said:The only requirements are that you keep the metal warm and humid (I use a plywood box with a 60 watt light in it and a wet towel), and that you NOT rub or card it too much between coats. Over-carding results in a metallic coppery finish.
This has always been shown/known in Birchwood Casey's literature.burlesontom said:I've never used anything but Plum Brown and always had good results. I mount my bench vise with a rod of copper clamped at a 45* angle and mount the barrel on that. Then I heat the barrel with either a torch or a heat gun. The torch works faster.
We just added a bunch of new Birchwood Casey products, with more coming soon, depending on customer requests. Here's a link in case you're still interested. Free shipping on all accessories too.Overdue Bill said:Where can I buy the chemical to brown my barrels? I've tried google and youtube and just come up with a bunch of unrelated junk. Thanks!!!
