Mack The Knife, Try that whole row of chem supply shops at end of Avenue road-the no entry end from BVK Iyengar or Vidhana Saudha-provided the riots are over and you can step out from the house!
The classic neidner rust blue is all you'll want.
I use -60ml Nitric, 40 ml Hydrochloric + iron fillings.let all the iron dissolve, let it sit for a day or two, decant into another clean dry container.
Thanks Mark for the precise dilution and Sp.Gr etc.
Prep blade, apply with cloth 'rubber' and tongs, not faux sponge.
let it dry, boil for a few min-try 15min? , leave to rust-toilet is best place, serious-you'll get all the humidity there-try leaving a half bucket of hot water.
Repeat for 2-3 days/ coats at a daily interval.
Final carding-steel wool and oil.remember to wash steel wool in nail polish remover or surgical spirit before use to remove any oily storage residue.
Yes, its really as simple as that-its the metal prep which is a B***h !
Use eye and hand protection??!!
Best
