The details..

'Kitchen Stove Parkerizing' by Dick Culver is a comprehensive guide for those interested in achieving an attractive dark gray, almost black finish that is just as durable as the Arsenal finishes and has exactly the same appearance. The author shares his experience of doing it on numerous occasions with no ill effect but warns readers about playing around with chemical formulas without proper precautions.

The book provides detailed instructions on how to prepare your area and parts beforehand, what ingredients you need (Phosphoric Acid, Powdered Manganese Dioxide, Distilled water), and steps involved in achieving desired results. It also includes tips such as using only Pyrex beakers instead of metal pots or wooden sticks placed across the top of them suspended parts in solution using steel or iron machinist's wire or some such.

Readers will learn about de-greasing their parts before finishing depending upon texture they desire on finished part; bead blasting prior to finishing if required; handling part(s) with gloves (never greasy hands); storing wrapped clean paper towels awaiting Parker Bath; immersing freshly rinsed hot part(s) immediately into Cosmoline for sometimes sought after

tint etc.

Overall, 'Kitchen Stove Parkerizing' offers valuable insights into home-brew parker-job techniques for anyone looking to improve their firearm's aesthetic appeal while maintaining its durability. However, readers are advised caution when dealing with chemicals like phosphoric acid which can cause harm if not handled properly.
