You rub it on your work at black heat to give it a weatherproof coating it lasts a month in the west, i have no clue what its like their so i can't say how long it'll last in china.

New from the local alchemist(Or Google): If you've had a hammer crack on you; (like me) More heat, longer heat, short time out of the fire. also to correct myself- Dollar tree hammers are Half-decent steel, Not cast iron. Bright orange is the coldest we should be going until the third heat/or till its thinner (Round 1/4 in.) As soon as i get a cheap hammer I'll post some pictures

I paid $0.54 per pound for a cast iorn one from a tool store, to quote My uncle Kelly- cast iron will work untill you get better at hammer control, its better to knick up a cruddy cast iron anvil then put a bunch of half-moon dings in a nice one.

Glenn beat me to the punch... I'd suggest the following online sites: Top 50 Blacksmithing Sites< informative/inspartional Diamondback Ironworks< good Gas forges Anvils can be Improv.(Tractor/bulldozer parts) made DIY (Steel plate/slegehammer head in cement *!*not as long lasting as real anvil*!*) Or got from Nortern tool, harbor freight, or NC tool-NCTOOLCO.COM< anvils
