Parkarizing Solution ?

[chasem5657]

Anyone know what solution to use for Parkarizing ? Im told Lauer Manganese Phosphate but I could be wrong unless there is something else ?

There are several available from several vendors. If you are a beginner I suggest getting this kit. It includes an instructional DVD. It is currently out of stock but it is supposed to be back in stock on 3/17. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/731...ep-by-step-dvd

You will also need a stainless steel pot or broiler big enough to hold whatever you are parkerizing, and a cooking thermometer.

I've used the Lauer Magnanese solution. Very high quality, dark charcoal gray, and easy to use.
