Chrispy Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Dennis, I was sure I read somewhere on this blog that someone had used it and I searched everywhere through my history and after hours of rechecking I found that it was you (in your Demo Thingy). I have heard that Fluid film needs needs to be reapplied on a regular basis and that it never really dries. Great on tools but needs reapplying after handling. Do a search on the net for parkerising (Parkerizing) sp. It will give a flat to satin black finish. It soaks up oil and will last around 15 years with heavy handling. It is a finish often used on hand guns etc but does involve boiling Phosphoric acid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptree Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Parkerizing is a brand name. The generic name is phosphatizing. There are now a fair number of room temp versions, Birchwood Casey makes a nice system. The conversion coating on the surface holds a anti-corrosion oil in intimate contact with the parent metal. Either the oil or the conversion coating by itself will protect for only a short time, but the spongey coating will hold the oil and allow much better performance. PTREE who used to manage a phosphate line along with the steam plant to heat it and the wastewater treatment plant to take care of the effluent.
