old bones

[Griz]

Does any one have any idea what "old bones" is? I used some to dye a powder horn over the weekend and with 2-3 coats it does give a descent color. It says to wear rubber gloves and I was wondering what is really is.

It's the remains of those who didn't heed the, "wear gloves when using" warning. :crackup:

Now thats just sick, seek help gobbler :crackup: :crackup: Seriously, does anyone know what it is? is it an acid or what.

 

I believe it is something like potassium permiate, which you can buy at any drug store. We had this thread several times before and a search should give you some detailed discussions, including the proper chemical compounds and names. We have had a couple of chemical engineers who posted here in the past.

I have used it many times, with varying reasults.

Good strong tea will do almost the same thing.
