When you dispose of used products and containers, please do so at an approved waste disposal facility. Never reuse an empty JAX container.

Typically, you apply a wax and then buff excess away onto the product after the patina. The wax is what helps to prevent corrosion. It also depends on the environment the finish piece will be in. If it is outside or in a humid environment, it may develop corrosion over time. **Q: is this the same a gun blue? like hoppes or birchwood casey perma blue?** A: No. This tends to make the steel look more like old wrought iron or mill scale. At times there is even some slight greenish undertones. This also tends to be a little blotchy and not as consistent of a coloring as the bluing solutions. **Q: What is a good sealer to use after this ?** A: I am not sure what you mean by sealer but after I have used JAX solution I wash the stain glass and then use "Mother California Gold original formula Carnauba cleaner wax". This does a good job to protect the solder joints. After that you can us a cloth with a little "Lemon Oil" on it to go over the joints if needed several months later. **Q: Will this darken a carbon steel knife without ruining it ?** A: I think it would but not sure over time how well the black finish would hold up to cleaning ,oil etc ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked really well. *by J***N on 26 August 2024* After cleaning and removing rust and the original blacking, Jax blackened the steel just the way I wanted. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This product with perform as intended *by R***S on 26 September 2021* I was very satisfied to be able to actually purchase a product that would darken where I want it darkened and blacken where I want it blackened.
