SMALL nuts and bolts


Recommended Posts

My partner gave me a kit of small nuts and bolts (washers,  etc.)  for watch  and glasses repair. It comes with 6 drivers that is all he wanted. I haven't tried to blacken anything yet, but for about $20, there must be hundreds of these things that might be useful.

Label reads "King'sdun"

Other than painting, how does one blacken stainless steel or carbon steel?

Thanks

Allan

Allan, I don't know.  I have a Nickel blackener that I'll try, then it's paint.

Hi Allan

I have used  Jenolite "Kold Blak" make sure the steel is really clean, no oil.

One can blacken carbon steel, that's what gun-smiths and toolmakers do all the time
