Son of Bluegrass, That is an interesting thought about the rust converter, would you have a recommendation for a converter? Also you mentioned heating until the oxides turn dark, are you meaning that I should heat the solution to these temperatures that you mention, or heat my material, and then apply solution. Sorry if that seems redundant, but I am on a short time frame to deliver to her newly remodeled home. So I am trying to not make to many mistakes. Also I thank you for your time, and help.

Hey guys, I am very new to blacksmithing. I have made a set of fireplace doors for my grandmother, and the material I used had been sand blasted. So I am trying to figure out how to get black finish back on it. If I use the Beeswax, Turpentine mixture, will that acheive the look that I am after? Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance. Chad
