Absolutely love the results of the small parts being dipped in the H3PO4 purchased from Home Depot.
How can I preserve this bare metal look? I know I could oil, but that would not be maintence free. One or two coats of clear enamel possibly but in the past it has not worked for me. Is there such thing as clear primer? My gandfather used linseed oil and paint thinner on his dads old tools, never saw rust on them, they were not used, but I do seem to remeber him doing it once a year or so.
Thoughts, ideas, all appreciated.
