Hi All,

I wanted a glossier finish on my latest rust bluing project so I chose to use the C17 swiss black formula from Angiers book because it contains no acids.

After applying the first coat, the part turned a bright copper color and didnt want to rust. Its not a dull, fuzzy rusty copper, its a bright, shiny copper.

Im sure I made the solution correctly and the degreasing was sufficient.

Has anyone had this happen?

Thanks,
Jon
