Aquafortis Reagent

[4570tc]

When using Aquafortis Reagent , do you apply the HEAT when it dries, or when the stain is wet?

when it is dry

He's right,, when it's dry. If anyone say's different their clueless.

It should be dry so that your heat will react with the iron in your acid solution.

I'm learning something new here as well. The time I used it, I used a heat gun to heat the gunstock almost immediately after I applied the aqua fortis. The stock turned dark immediately and so I thought that's how it worked. I will try letting the stock dry next time and maybe get even more color!

It dries fast under the heat gun.

Be careful with the gun. I set mine to the "800 degree" setting and keep it moving. Be careful not to burn sharp edges and thin lines.
