I tried to blacken the brass by ammonia. Firstly i kept the brass in amonnia for 2 hours and then i heated it up by the flame of a lighter. That's the result

Nice work Mustafa, really coming along nicely.  Did you get the Ammonia from the Ezane?

Hi yes I'm in the UK till 5 September.

Nice work Mustafa abi.  I want to ask a question about the Tung oil. I'm from Turkey too. I also bought the Tung oil from the same brand.

(%100 Doğal Pruva Tung Yağı) But when I used it on some wood for trial, (maun - mahogany) I saw that it had a terrible bad smell and it didn't dry for months.

Not at all...

Did you dilute it?

I heard that I should dilute it with turpentine (terebentin).. %50 tung oil + % 50 turpentine..

If it has a bad smell, what will you do?

Thanks..

Thank you Onering. Nice to meet you. No i did not dilute it. I applied 3 coats of oil on the model and drying of each coat took around 3 days. Probably because humidity in the city (Kayseri) where i live in is quite low, drying did not take long time. I heard about diluting oil with turpentine too. I think this could solve your problem.

 

The model itself does not smell bad but the cotton cloth, that you use for applying oil, smells really bad if you keep it in the room. Wash or remove the cloth.

 

Have a good day,

Mustafa

I did a clock case with tung oil and it took 3 weeks to get the smell out good enough to bring in the house. Beautiful finish though. I did thin it with turpentine too.

Hello Mustafa,

I just discovered your build log, well done. Can you tell us what wood you used for the deck planking? I like the look of it in post #16.

Thank you Bruce. I really don't know what wood it is. It is just wooden stick for stirring tea or coffee
