First time I saw this technique used was by the Baltimore Knife and Sword guys on the AWE me "Man at Arms" YT videos way back to give color to a forging. Amazing artisans and craftsmen extraordinaire. I tried it on a small part and it also helps with keeping rust away.

Great job so far Canobi, you'll get there!

Thanks, PJ
