You can also mix your own. It is very easy.

This is customarily where you list the formula for mixing your own

It was posted here a while ago:

- 200mL 85% Phosphoric Acid (from hydroponic shop) into 300mL distilled water

- Heat solution and add as much manganese carbonate (from pottery supply store) as will dissolve.

- Mix 30mL of this solution into 1L of water to obtain final parkerizing solution.

Be sure do do this in a WELL VENTILATED area and wear goggles, etc.

No problem. I just like to idea of mixing my own. I have a clunker Enfield I am going to try soon.

Any ideas for long trays to heat the solution?

Regular steel or iron can't be used, but I am told enamelware can.
I am thinking that a section of ducting, sealed on both ends, and painted on the inside with BBQ paint might be the ticket. It would be able to stand the mild heat involved and prevent the solution from parking the duct but I am not sure if the paint would react with the solution though.

Be very careful handling the phosphoric acid, gloves and goggles a must. Don't take short cuts here.

Remember, it's ALWAYS acid to water, and not water to acid.

[FONT=geneva,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1][FONT=geneva,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]A large amount of heat is released when strong acids are mixed with water. Adding more acid releases more heat. If you add water to acid, you form an extremely concentrated solution of acid initially. So much heat is released that the solution may boil very violently, splashing concentrated acid out of the container! If you add acid to water, the solution that forms is very dilute and the small amount of heat released is not enough to vaporize and spatter it. So Always Add Acid to water, and never the reverse.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
