After looking at the barrels this morning sober they look a lot better than they did.The chalk was helping but it seemed super slow. It might have been the chalk ,I could only find some dustless chalk at Office Depot.When I switched to the Hagerty all metal polish it did the trick.They are still not perfect but they do not look like two dark brown poles.When I get the book I'll have to look up how to use the acids and maybe experiment on some of my wall hangers.I really want to bring out some of the white and black contrast I'm not too big on the brown.
thanks
