    Barrel Browning

    Just finished browning a barrel using Laurel Mountain and I have a beautiful smooth purplish brown finish. I’ve oiled for the last couple days and I continue to have pretty heavy rust stains on the rag. I did use baking soda to stop the reaction and carded lightly with a gray Scotchbrite pad...

    Browning and bluing

    I have two barrels to finish. One will be brown and one rust blued. I’ve got the Laurel Mountain browning soln. Directions say it can be used for rust bluing. Questions: have you used this for bluing? Can I use an aluminum gutter for the water bath? Is it necessary to use distilled water...
