I watched this video (link below) where by this man after using kasnit on his frizzen, dropped it directly into salty ice water. I would have thought it would be ruined. Has anyone done this where the frizzen survived?

By the time he dropped the frizzen in it had cooled enough that it wouldn't hurt it. The mixture he described (without the ice) has been used by blacksmith's for a long time, it's called super quench and if he dropped the frizzen in while it was still red hot it probably would have hardened it without the Kasinet.
Super quench has a couple more ingredients like Dawn dish washing soap and Jet Dry but the main ingredient is salt. It will harden low carbon steel to some extent.

For the record, I did everything that the video instructed me to do. The only thing different is I tempered the toe/pivot screw hole area. Thing sparks like the 4th. Gonna order a replacement frizzen just in case.
