There was a booth at kalamazoo selling wakhon bay aquafortis this weekend said he had bought the recipe from original maker. I was afraid to buy it after reading on this forum about stocks turning green after a few years I have been wanting to give it a try. I could try to contact him if interested?

I did see a gun at a recent show that was the most hideous shade of green you could imagine. Could anything be done about this or is it permanent?

IMO, Without resanding to remove the finish I believe it's permanent. Even resanding might not be enough if a deep penetrating oil finish was applied.
If an oil finish was applied that would have to be killed to allow staining it darker to hide the green color. I think some specialty furniture finishing places can do that.

I believe that the green problem is more of a problem with chromium trioxide. It seems that some people get this confused with aqua fortis. I'm not saying that AF won't turn a stock green, but it could also be due to Cr03.

 

[CrackStock]

bioprof is right. AQ only stays a drab green until properly heated. However, chromium trioxide can leave a bright and ugly green that stays forever. I remember seeing a gun for sale at a store in New Orleans that stands out for that reason.

I will seek out some AQ, thanks for the info.
