## Description

Introducing Birchwood Technologies Presto Black STEEL PC9, the ultimate solution for achieving a deep black finish on ferrous materials. This high-quality black patina coating creates a smooth, uniform black finish . It's perfect for use on a variety of ferrous metals, including steel, iron, and cast iron, and is ideal for architectural, industrial, and touch-up applications.

Review: This worked very well for my tools. It contains Selinium, so please dispose of it properly. I've collected my wastewater for the next hazmat drop off. There's more involved than I can fit into a review, so I'll include a photo. It only works on steel (I knew that), so you can see/expect things like the stainless bolts stay shiny. I didn't even try the aluminum handles; I dismantled most of these and cleaned and treated them individually using a 1:9 distilled water solution in an ultrasonic tank (using an isolation jar for the solution). The only refinement post-oil (camelia in my case) will be a topical microcrystalline wax, but this is already a 'standard' coat and much better than what I started with. If you're doing a more direct brush-on application, then my experience may not apply to you.
Review: Dang, this stuff works so fast you better not blink!! The beauty ring bolts in my bronco were kind of messed up from removing a couple times so bare metal was showing through the black. I poured some of this stuff on a bowl, dropped the button head torx bolts in and Shazam! No more silver was showing. Incredible. They look fantastic. One difference from the stock bolts is these come out with a matte black finish while the OEM Ford bolts have a shine on the black. I waxed these baby’s up and they look very, very close to the stock ones. Nobody would ever know. I got so punch happy I took my eyeglasses apart and threw the frames in but no go, this stuff only works in steel not aluminum. Oh well, can’t win ‘em all. This stuff works really well, if you need to blacken some steel hardware…get you some!

Works fantastically. Produces a much darker black than other bluing agents and works on alloys that others don't color well.
