liquid rust

This stuff looks cool!

That is like the answer to my orkie prayers.

I love that it's "highly flammable"

seriously though, looks like cool stuff. I might try to pick some up.

Probably just alcohol, water and the pigment. Alcohol and water together I believe create that irregular effect.

Thanks for the review.

I think its actual iron powder in a solution - if its the recipe I'm thinking of. With a little time and effort I bet you could dupe it.

I think the funny part is that he put the rust in the joints and stuff...Wouldn't those places be the most likely spots to NOT have rust due to metal on metal moving and such.

I'd like to use this stuff on Big, flat areas or on weld joints and rivets. cool product for sure.

Here's how to get the same effect in a homemade solution:

I made a batch that worked really well, though I still haven't found anywhere local to buy fine steel wool by itself, I just tried to get all the soap out of a Brillo pad.

That homemade recipe looks pretty nice. I'll need to give it a try.
