Homemade parkerizing

[PerversPépère]

Hello!
I would like to try some at-home parkerizing on small parts.
is there a place where one can buy all the necessary chemical components or solutions to do this?
Once I'm satisfied with the results, I might have some shotgun receivers to bead blast and process.
Do you think it would be feasible or more economical to have it done instead?
Do you recommend a place?
I live in Kebekistan but would not hesitate to send the parts if need arises.
PP.

I picked up a 'Phosphating Kit' from Brownells. I also purchased some blackening compound to get the color I wanted. I had a buddy make me up a suitable stainless steel tank for the chemical process and was pleased with the outcome. I did my own two tone 1911. The instructions that came with the kit worked out exactly as described. The process took place outdoors on a two burner electric hotplate. Good luck with your project, it beats the heck out of having a 'pro' do it.

Homemade Parkerizing

I tried the home brew method and it wasn't too successful. I went and bought the Radocy solution and had excellent results, see my Garand receiver below.

You can get it next door (Ontario) pjsproducts.com/radocy.htm

I have used the Radocy product. Very easy to use, you can expect results as shown in buoff's photo.

i tried a while ago with caswell black oxide on two 870... no boiling and not too much wierd fumes, but it aint exactly parkerizing.
i was not happy enough with the result so i sent them to tacord (amazing job by the way) but i tried again the caswell with a hawk head i wanted refinished. with a better understanding of the product and better preparation having done it before it came out great. the fact the piece itself was a lt smaller helped for sure but i would try again if i had to, as doing it yourself is always best.
